Heaviest load you pulled
Just curious whats the most you have towed with the 6.0. I hauled a case international 7140 tractor that weighed about 25000 pounds on my 30 foot gooseneck. It was a short distance for some fellow farmers to get worked on. Just came back from flemingsburg ky with an army m818 but used my freightliner because of the hills (i thought would be bad) should have carried the ford instead.

Mine has not been as big as you guys, but I have hauled my trailer that is 8000 lbs plus 100 bales of hay @ 60 lbs each. Total of 14,000 lbs from PA to FL. She handled it pretty darn good for a truck with 4 inch lift and oversized tires.

Grossed 31.5k in my dad's CC LB hauling logs on a 28ft gooseneck over Cabbage Hill.

Those rail road ties weigh over 200 lbs a piece. You had a load on that one.

I actually thought I was going to break the trailer in half, my bobcat would only pick up 4 at a time without the back end coming off the ground.

Can some of you actually define 'no problem' for me.. For me 'no problem' is that you don't have to constantly work with the truck to keep it up to speed, you don't have to up shift constantly, don't have to floor, etc..
For these heavy loads, does it actually pull them at highway speeds easily?

25 round bales at roughly 1 ton a peice. Engine still had more.... but the back end was wandering a bit. lol. If there wouldve been any bigger hills here never wouldve tried it. Still managed to keep it between 45 to 60. Good news we have access to a 82 pete to pull those loads now. Good thing to the torque converter is kinda starting to act goofy.
