L8000 vs L9000

Ok Ryan and Morris, tell me what there is to know between these two. I found a few cheaper dumps for sale and I dont really know what the difference between these models are.

Ryan how serious is your boss about selling that one that you drive?

He's prob not serious till he finds something else.
With a L800 you are lookin at 90-95 kmph top speed mainly.
Then L9000 is heavier, better built and overkill compared to a 8000.

Or put another way the 9000 is a heavier version of the 8000.
The 9 is usually a retired hiway tractor with bigger power train, heavier frame/axles with the same body.

Cool cool thanks fellas, good to know. Although i wouldnt need heavier right right now, it might be a good idea to go bigger then smaller.

Nice having a tandem versus just a single or a tag axle, thats gotten me out of a couple sticky situations.
