Typical farmer. They pile on as much as physically possible, and not really concerned about GVW's. Note the extensions on the side boards.
Like my dad(a farmer) used to say..."if you're going, you might as well take a full load!"

Well, I did make sure the tires were inflated properly. Believe it or not, the overload springs were not used during this load.

Got a question---who insures your F-4? Most companies only insure up to a 1 ton.

Joe, that bed sure does look great though. I hope you didn't get any pine sap on your truck. That stuff is hard to remove!

Merry Christmas!
