There is a big difference
The lift arms are designed for lifting. The three point hitch lift arms ability are limited by the hydraulics of the tractor, they should stop lifting before things really go bad. You will actually lift the front end first and to counter this you add weight to the...
A pesky thing called work got in the way of me responding quicker. It is funny how you can change the geometry and increase the loads by an incredible factor.
The 7155 is a cat transmission. Some people love them, some hate them. If you love them that has a habit of ending if you ever have to work on it or find somebody to work on it.
Then you need a bigger driveway, or better yet a garage big enough to fit several. And do not forget your right hand man to lift the heavy parts. It is addictive and they just multiply by them selves.
What Is the distance from the end of the outer tube to the foot?
What is the distance of the exposed screw from the nut to the gear?

The end result is you are required to keep all the items the vehicle was built with operational or the vehicle is out of service.
On my civilian trucks they have both the buzzer and a red light.

Dootson in arcadia has the pay as you go plan. They do not mandate the amount of time, or money, that it takes. Unless you are on the GI bill. They will work with you until they think you can pass, then you get to take the test.
It took me one month and one test at DMV.
My suggestion is to...
I looked into this several years ago when I needed to get a new CDL.
CA does not require the DMV examiners, or CHP commercial officers to have a CDL. Competency varies widely between personnel.
When taking the test it is recommended that you use a truck they are used to seeing, hence a CDL...
