i officially request pics of the inside of that 379 mike....

 

After I clean it up some the previous driver or drivers made quite a mess, that is tomorrows project..

 

yeah they usually do.. bet it doesnt smell very good in there either...

 

Borrowed the skid steer from my boss last weekend to help dig the holes for my sister's new fence.

Pulling a little over 10k total for auger, machine w/ bucket, and trailer. Spent a lot of time in 2nd and 3rd gear pulling any hills. It would hold 60 going up even if it meant 2nd gear and 6k RPM. 70MPH was only really possible on flat roads. According to the trucks computer it averaged 6.4MPG doing it. That is likely off though because I still haven't recalibrated for the tires.

I didn't load it for this first picture so it is way heavy on the tongue. Now that I'm actually looking at it I really should've moved it back before taking off with it.



I loaded it in the second picture and it pulled so much smoother with less tongue weight.




And just for a bit of WTF. I got passed by this Dodge today on I-294 around Chicago. I really don't understand it. Luckily I had my dashcam on in the truck so I was able to grab a snapshot from that.

 

heavily smoked in is what it smells like..



cool pics Ryan !

 

Thats funny Ryan, the Ram must be from Alberta, lol

 

Pete, that is a beautiful truck.

Mike, I like that rig!
