    winch snatch block storage question

    Dual 14R20 on 5 ton

    You need to consider a 915 series 6x6 ie 916 or 920. The tandem is rated 56000 lbs and with 16.00R20 tires (rated 14500 single) you wont be overloading stuff. You will enjoy the 400 horse and jake brake. Transfercase is air activated and you can turn it on to help make turns instead of...

    after using my m818s during harvest in a lot of snow I can see a real need for a way to put it in 6x6 and not have to make the back tires spin to get there. Driving out of a field at 95000lbs and a 43 foot trailer I need the front end to be pulling to help turn and get away from the ditch on...

    What happens when you mix an M-818 with ideas peppered with too much testosterone?

    thats a neat build, what is the crane rated for? I mean what can it lift? Does it have a winch too or only use hydraulics to lift?
