Hauling a backhoe? you mean like this? no problem. any day of the week.

v30crewcab · 11-14-2018, 10:30 AM

what about a 14K crane?

v30crewcab · 11-14-2018, 10:33 AM

no idea what all this pallet racking weighed, but it felt heavier than the pieces of equipment for some reason. there's also a 4ft high stack of 4x4 plywood in this load also.

they are dodge rims, with 2" spacers, 95-ish chevy threaded lugnuts and centercaps.

stomper · 08-29-2019, 03:26 PM

Picked this up for $100.

Do squares not haul as often as 67-72's. Thay have way more posts in their thread.

sweetk30 · 08-29-2019, 05:06 PM

k30 doin k30 things .

free mulch grindings from local county compost lot . they even load them for you .

the only problem is you have to level them out were you dump them .

few more loads to go for the finish product to be done .

stomper · 08-29-2019, 05:12 PM

Damn that K30 barey squats with mulch cab high! I gotta get mine back on the road.

SCOTI · 08-29-2019, 05:32 PM

A little late night rescue a month or so ago. Timing gear went out/sheared the teeth on this regularly driven Model-A. It's owner is a 24yr old young man who knows them front to back & isn't scared to modify them so they can be driven.

But, in the end, it was maneuvering this load & the dually in the shop parking lot that killed my 7k mile rag-joint. Thankfully we were already 'home' so we were able to just band-aid it to get it parked so I could repair it later.

wellllllll there is a secret to that

timbren bump stops on 3/4 ton springs so it rides better than a k30 but has more weight hauling capacity over just the std k30 springs .

if i wanted i have a set of 4,400 lb HD springs i could install but then my ride would go to crap .

stomper · 09-09-2020, 09:55 AM

Estimated 4500 lbs. Old pump house foundation. Squat the K30 pretty good.
