WOW....that use looks like an overloaded truck! Way too much pin weight!

 

How do you know what my pin weight is?

 

Well, it could be the angle of the camera, but with the nose of the truck up in the air it's not hard to tell that it's loaded beyond the recommended weight limit. Might want to hit the scales next time just to see what your weight is on the rear axle.

 

I've been pulling this around today.

 

here was an interesting load I dragged into the local scrap yard... of course they werent to happy about that Fiberglass piece of sh$t .....

 

How much does that weigh? How does a tracked skid steer maneuver compared to the wheeled ones. A while back I was at the training site for operators and after trying wheeled and track loaders and combination back hoes I tried the Bobcat and Case skid steer and felt like I was on a bucking bronco.

 

I believe that skid steer weighs 11,900 pounds. It handles fairly well, turning isn't always as easy as with a wheeled skid steer because you can pack dirt into the tracks or tare up whatever you are driving on but overall, it is usually more stable feeling and smooth riding compared to wheeled skidsteers that I have operated.

 

We have a cat 226 skid loader in work along with a 287B Multi terrian loader. I have ran both around the shop. I hate the skid loader but love the multi terrian loader. They don't bonch as much.

 

got any bigger pictures off the rig? rollback? I'd love to scrap in that thing!

 

Is it just me or is your hitch bending down?

 

Were you really scrapping that Mustang?

 

Good eye! I hope its not bending down but i'm sure going to check the powdercoat on it for cracks tomorrow.

 

I would be checking it out also! Is it bolted to the frame or welded? I would check the bolts and make sure there grade 8 too.

 

The hitch is bolted to the frame using eight total 3/4'' ISO R898 Class 10 Bolts (Really Strong) and it is rated to 16,000 Lbs, so it should be fine.
