That is way too much for a deuce to handle. To be honest, i dont think you'd be happy with a 5ton and that much weight.reb87 said:I was looking on clark trucks website and they said the front axle is rated at 11000 and the tandems at 28000. Im thinking about putting a 16ft grain dump box on my m35a2 and wondered if it would handle 25000lbs payload(400bu corn). I guess according to them it would.Ross
You could probably haul that much but it's going to be slow if you've got any kind of hills to climb.reb87 said:I was looking on clark trucks website and they said the front axle is rated at 11000 and the tandems at 28000.

So not only do you want to overload it, you want to raise the center of gravity and make it more prone to flip.rosco said:The center pivot point is between the two rear axles, or at about 7' (ahead of center), on its 12' bed. If you put a 16' bed on it, the center of the bed will be behind the center axle pivot point. that will take weight off the steering. You will either have to streach the frame, to get the weight right on the steering. I think I would just put a lift on it, with extra high sides. It would then, probably handle nicely, what you could get on.!
