It maybe a false way of looking at it but it helps me sleep better.

2005 R6 weight with driver 450lbs = 36mpg (12.5:1)
2008 F350 weight with driver 7900lbs = 17mpg (464.7:1)
1984 M915 weight with driver 19905lbs = 7mpg (2843.5:1)

Doesn't really mean much until you factor work ability. Say I had to move 20000 1lb bags of rice 1 mile.

M915 = .15 gallons of fuel
F350 = 1.61 gallons of fuel
R6 = 111.6 gallons of fuel

The math maybe off I had a phone call...

I think you get the idea...

did some checking on big load king trailers, I found a 98, 85t with goodies, for $350,000+

these trailers are custom made, even when they are shown in there catalog, not built till a deposit

I did the same research when I saw the setup last time...

I make less than 48k a year it would take a lifetime to pay for one...

Of course my salary alone would pay one months rent on a new york studio flat....

All I want is stuff to keep working... sometimes I think this country has it's priorities backwards.

I wounder if GL didn't get what it wanted the frist time?? I remember a 8X8 at Hooks that sold 3 or 4 times. GL kept making it look better each time. We see if it sells again or not.?.

Can you figure out how much fuel with my LX176 JD tractor? its a blazing 14 HP

See I didn't even take HP into consideration. Lets start thinking about that R6 is 160 hp, my Ford has almost 500hp (it's not stock ) and the M915 has a 400...

Ah what's the point...

When my fuel light in the Ford comes on there is more fuel in the tank than I can squeeze in the bike...who was I joking...

Summer hurry up!!!!

I'll give the ford this it has heated seats...LOL

 

[R Racing]

BIGHURT You don't have heated seats for your M915 yet !! What are you waiting for !!! LOL

 

[wreckerman893]

BIGHURT.......fuel is going to kill you to drive the 915 back to ND......I guess you'll just have to leave her with me......I need a new mistress anyway.

Nope it's still at Richards place, I am looking at replacement seats but not sure they will be heated. I have the 12 volt though so maybe...LOL

Mmmm, your right but I've already set aside the $1000 gas bill for the drive home

Remember I have to go to James place in OKC and get my trailer. Which works out cause Ross needs his ROP's and I culd use some extra diesel money. There is also another member in SD that needs some M101 trailers drug up from Ky and he promised some diesel money as well.

$1000 for parts
$1000 for Fuel and
$1000 for the recovery vehicle expense

Assuming everything goes well, it's cheaper than the $5k I was quoted for shipping, and I get to meet a bunch of members and have an adventure.

But thanks for making me feel good, James keeps trying to get my trailer...
