I have had several. One that come to mind, in the mid 90's we grew watermelons. We were using a 86 F250 Ford. We were using a trailer and became curious how much we weighted. We went across the scales with truck trailer and melons : 17,000. We went to our home in town and added 50 melons to bed of truck. They averaged 50 pounds each. We estimated 19,500 ponds.
Same truck several years later I went to local co op and picked up fertilizer spreader with 12,500 pounds of fertilizer in it. Spreader weighted about 10,000 empty. Total weight. 22,500.
Same truck. We cut a pine tree and had it sawed into lumber for an uncle. The tree cut 1400 board feet. This tree was cut off stump Mondayand sawed to lumber on Thursday. We put 85 pounds of air in trailer tires to get them to not bulge. We hauled this 150 miles to he uncle.
98 3500 Chevrolet. Picked up two pallets of bagged fert from local supplier. knew it was a load. Only supposed to be 80 bags. Turnedout to be 100 bags(2.5 tons).
I have since become older and wiser and do my best not to over lad my vehicles. It is cheaper to make two trips than to replace the vehicles.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
