the hell could you ever want to do with an F650? it would SUCK horribly offroad. the springs would be stiff as I-beams, the weight would be too much, and the size is too cumbersome. you already have the axles and tranny and t-case to handle the rigors of offroading but there is no practicallity in the idea.

my only 2 suggestions to you regarding the original topic of this really not offroad related thread. WELD the front and rear diffs. free lockers. second... dont get a gas burner.... go with some oil burner, either a CAT or a cummins or International but domething that big built to handle crazy loads needs the torque of an oil burner. plus you can run stacks

Wow That whole thread is messed up.

Stick a 650 in a wet farm field and watch it sink.

Exactly. Never mind trying to drag a trailer behind it.

I just want to see pics. That's all I want, just to see some pics of this. What I really want to see is the pic of this thing on it's side when he tries to pick up a 2K lb+ bale that is off to the side of this thing. Then, then I will LMAO!

Okay, I don't know why I'm interested in this. I guess it's just what amuses a simple mind. I had to look at the public profile and this guy is a modern day Picaso. I mean come on; with these qualifications this guy's intelligence is so far beyond what any one of us here would understand, it's no wonder we are confused and don't understand his concepts. NASA called me last night and asked if they could have their lead "in-flight missle repairman" back.

Yeah almost, but I wanted to see outriggers too. I'm really interested in the list of mods to make this thing functional and the final cost.

And the bales are too small. Just one of those is bigger than the bed.

Gotta have the thrasher on the front and a 3 point on the back too. That would be the pimpinest vehicle on the farm.

The crane is there it just blends a little! It is where the tool box normally is to balance the load.

maybe this is what he is trying for... THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS!

you can pull 100 bales, wheel over two trucks and look totally xtr3me while doin it! https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...=89850&width=0

ok....wheelin over other vehicles may be pushin it for this 650 soo i'm thinkin this design is MUCH more practical

boy this guys a dunce.i've seen a f350 with a 20 something foot trailer and tractor do better than anything than anything bigger.i hope he does something.i know when you put a truck in a soft feild it has to have a lighter weight and the powertrain to pull itself out when loaded.my only suggestion is that if he sticks with truck he gets something like a detriot 466 to run in it with maybe a allison 6 speed tranny.
