    I towed my case 580 super m series 2 with my 2003 f350 crew cab 6.0 .Man was I impressed with the way it handled it no problems what so ever.My trailer is a 25 foot gosseneck with 2 10000 ponds axles ,should make for an easier summer instead of driving around with the backhoe all over the city.

    My customer has that same back hoe. His truck is in Diesel Power this month. He has alot of attachments that really weigh it down.

    Its a nice truck. I am actually borrowing it and driving it to the Extreme Diesel Showdown in Tulare this weekend. Going to have it set up at my Amsoil Booth. Any of you west coasters going to the Farm show come by and say hi!

    Ok, now that I have totally hijacked the thread (sorry) -

    How about a pic of your rig all hooked up?

    Right on, let's see some pics jayman.

    That 550 in DP was awsome. Notice he has a Big Tex Trailer?? I was dissapointed they didn't mention it in the article.

    Yeah, not a huge fan of Big-Tex stuff...their stuff is good, dont get me wrong, but there is better stuff out there for cheaper.
