A few pictures I thought you be interested

These are from a member on another forum I visit (yes, farm machine related), who works on a large peanut and cotton farm in Texas.

 

He uses his 2002 Duramax crewcab 4x4 to pull this trailer around loaded with seed during planting season. On this load he is hauling twelve bulk bags of wheat seed (at 2500lbs each), total load on the flatbed -30K. The truck and trailer alone weight right at 14,000lbs. He says this load is only done for short distances (under 10 mile) and while in a bind, ten bags is all he's haul for an extended distance.

 

 

Here is eight pallets of rye see, 50 bags per pallet. Again, plenty o weight.

 

 

Before this truck he used a 2000 K3500 with the 7.4L to do the same work.

Man, I could just imagine the gas mileage on that 454 pulling that much weight...

Well it looks like that gas pump may be packing him to keep the tank full!

Good to see a diesel being worked for a change.
