if it's 2,500 # i am stronger than i ever imagined ! i have moved a few of these and they are not extremely heavy.

not sure on the exact weight but i move them around by my self without much trouble. maybe 300 pounds ?

looks like the truck won!

GA i think.

we flat towed a couple 5 ton tractors with my XM818. had no problems with tracking or handling. run full speed (55) the whole way 135 miles one way. we used safety chains from the rear of the 818 to the frame rails just behind the front bumper. wired the hooks to prevent them from unhooking...

why not use a disconnect on the ground side? this is the safest way to isolate the batts in my opinion. just be sure to get a switch that will handle the amps.

run your hyd pump with a back pack off your pto.

Don't know where the best place to get these would be. i lucked out and found a set that the military had welded together. they welded them back to back and the wheel wrench works for the handle! so it gets tossed in the tool box and is there if needed where ever the truck goes.

hope this is not to late for you. my sockets that i use for the 5 ton are 8 sided. 1 is 4 - 15/16" and other is 4 1/2".

I am looking for the electrical receptacle that mounts on the front of the military semi trailers. it is the male end (pins exposed). any one have a source ? i have checked all that i know of but came up O.

whats the deal with these and others having _all fluids drained_ ? is this a contamination thing?

jwaller has a link on page 1 of your thread. link takes us to a pic of his XM818 sitting quietly waiting for its new life to begin.

same here

looked at putting Jake's on mine when i do the re-power. for me it wont matter that the hood wont fit (the Jake's wont clear the hood) cause i will need to modify that anyway for the turbo cross tube.

i have a Bantam drag line. it's mounted on an I beam frame with deuce (M211) running gear and front winch. it had rear pull out style out riggers but they were gone when i got it. it still works without them. i have only moved about 500 yds of sand but i have yet to tip it over. don't know the...

the usefulness of the 5 tons is never ending!
