   @bert26a yeah …
   @bert26a yeah 50,600 lbs on a tandem (10 wheel) configuration, now add a 7000 lb. drop axle and your legal to 69,600…..what sense does that make?

   Yeah here it works …
   Yeah here it works out to usually 17,000kg on a tandem axle grouping, Front axle with ‘skinny’ tires and rims 5500kg’s. Triples 23,000kg’s heaviest front axles I have driven were 7300kg’s. Those drop down axle’s you guys have in the ‘State’s and in Ontario and Quebec are illegal on the Prairie’s and in B.C., The Yukon and the NWT. Don’t why but that’s how it works.

   How many speeds is your transmission

   I have a 30,000Ib Wheel Loader just wandering if a fuller 10 speed is good enough to pull it around. What do you think?

    @copperheadmarine i thought it would have burnt less to be honest

    @hawker800FO Not …
    @hawker800FO Not really? I cant get any more money on the hour for a new one? A newer hoe may work a bit faster but will burn more fuel and the parts are more expensive. So if I work by the hour most of the time a newer hoe will make me less money. does that make sense? I have 2 225s as well as this 215.

    @copperheadmarine …
    @copperheadmarine Little different here in NJ i guess. You can be under on your GCWR but still get fined if your over on axle weight. a guy in the same yard as us got fined for being 200lbs overweight on his front axle even though he was under on gross. Move the load back a little and its legal

    @hammerdwn20 Can’t …
    @hammerdwn20 Can’t have 44 K on a set of tandems? we are actually allowed 90K on 5 axles with no permit if its construction equipment. 12′ wide with no permit. with the exception of Interstate have to be 80k or under in the I state. I haul 35K with my F-350 and the tri axle gooseneck and they never say any thing about that. I have been wieghed to make sure I’m not over gross but they never said anything about over axle?
