8,620 lbs of gravel

[Wild Horse Hans]

Mine has a dump bed too and I already used it to put a few loads of sand in the riding arena. Made it worth buying the truck right then and there. The horses sort of did not like the big green thing in there with them, but they like the new footing in the arena.

How much is a load of gravel on avg?

We hauled about 100 loads with our M342A2, here it is loaded with wet soil, really hard to get the truck rolling. I hate to think how much weight it was

I paid $74 for 4+ tons for something called crusher run. Crusher run is the base before putting plain bravel down.

Great pics and good looking trucks guys. I am in the process of putting my C bed on my M818. I cannot wait to haul something with it.

My deuce moved about 180 ton today. It did a good job of moving the clean fill dirt. Average payload was 12ton.

I've hauled 5 1/2 ton of sand. It's the only time I have ever needed 1'st gear. It hardly even sat down.

As wet as that load looks you might have had 16-17 ton on there.

I've done approx 14,000 with mine twice. The first time with 9.00's and the second with the 11.00's. Huge difference. The 9.00's were squating quite a bit and the truck looked like is was loaded heavy. With the 11.00 you could hardly tell there was any weight. Yes, shoveling it all out sucks!

were both sets duallys or was the 11s run as singles and 9s as duallys?

This is an old thread. You might try sending Dodgeman1941 a pm for an answer as he hasn't logged on since 05-10-2014 .
