Building a lake on the farm. That’s the little haul truck! 😂

Our 917 is still chugging along on the original big cam. I scaled her out at 95k pulling the tri-axle and our a25c Volvo. Our farm tags are good for 120k gvwr thankfully. Plus the DOT doesn’t mess with us farmers much 😂. Also check your trailer tire air pressure every trip!
