Wish I had some justification to get one. ...
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Nice to know. The clay was damp but not wet so I must have been kind to her. I did put it in low range with one load as it was struggling since I was backed into a low spot. As soon as I pulled on level I put it back in high range.You only had about 4-5 tons on there. It will handle a lot more. I wouldn't worry about the auto tranny. Just put it in low starting out loaded if it won't pull out loaded so as not to heat the torque convertor up.
Wow. Thats a jag!This is what 10-12 tons looks like. You can't get that much on without side boards unless it's really wet clay.
Y'all are making these automatic trans seem tougher than I ever pictured.I pull a 36,000# excavator with a trailer that weighs 10,500# behind my 929a2. I'm using the m920 when I don't need the dump. The m920 doesn't even know it's back there.

Maybe I should contact my township and county to be put on a "if needed" list for snow removal. They can send me a 1099 for all I care!View attachment 575872Not exactly seasonal.
No wonder they put those weight ratings so low in the book. Its only rated 15K tow and you are towing 46,500??? Thats more than double...I pull a 36,000# excavator with a trailer that weighs 10,500# behind my 929a2. I'm using the m920 when I don't need the dump. The m920 doesn't even know it's back there.

Yep. We actually leave it off most of the time when we are using it off road unless we are hauling sand.Did you take the tailgate off to haul the trees?
That is one heck of a lot of truck! Very nice machine.I love to load up our M917 with all sorts of fun. No problems yet.
