I have a 92 c3500 with the 350 in it and I couldn’t imagine pulling a tractor. It just doesn’t seem like it has that type of power. Lol

[@westtnliving2222]

I am surprised to how much power the 350 has in it. I’m sure it helps that my truck is geared super low. Top speed is about 50 mile an hour loaded or empty. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.

Great video! I subscribed. You got a good deal on that old dump truck. Where abouts in west Tn are you? I use my dump trailer more than my dump truck but it’s mainly b/c the truck won’t stay running. 😂

[@westtnliving2222]

Not running would definitely slow you down lol. I live in dyer county! Thanks for the sub and the comment!

@@westtnliving2222 you bet. I’m in Obion county.

[@shotlifffamilyfirewood]

[@westtnliving2222]

Thank you so much for the sub. If I can answer any questions for you since I have on both, I’d be happy to help. It can be a tough decision. Thanks for the comment also.

Hm - wondering the gvwr on that dumper? Impressed with its load capacity. I recently had to decide, trailer or dumper - went with a '96 F Super Duty, 12' bed - essentially F450, gvwr at 16k - empty weight right at 9300lb. Was able to haul 4T but was overweight, so cap at 3T of gravel now to still have some spring range. With that, tow the kubota on a 6k gvwr flatbed trailer, so land at 22k total - under the cdl limit. I *wish* it could haul your 5T on a run, lol. Great info, thanks! Sub'd!

[@westtnliving2222]

Thanks so much for your comments. I’m not sure what the gross weight is. I’m sure I’m over lol. It will definitely haul more then it should

[@jakehester9979]

My deciding factor was I could leave my trailer full and have empty truck

[@jakehester9979]

Also there is no way that truck is rated for 8 to 9 tons plus that trailer

[@westtnliving2222]

You definitely have options
