For many years gas engine powered truck roamed the roads . there aqre still a lot of gas powered grain trucks used on small farms . Yes they get the job done but they are not travailing far . They are slow when loaded , eat gas like M &M's parts are getting harder to find , brake problems and for the most part due to improper adjustment as most people do not know how to adjust them or the lack there of . Would i want to throw a big heavy trailer behind one with ELECTRIC brakes Nope i personally do not like electric brakes , yes i own a trailer with electric brakes , yes i have had brake problems . You have never lived till you had a total brake failure fully loaded . Half a CENTURY back i was driving a gas powered semi pulling a FIFTY TON lowboy hauling heavy equipment , you became a master in the gear selection dept. with 20 gears to work with . Nothing like pulling a hill at a mind blistering speed of 4-10 MPH baking in the cab from the heat off the engine and sucking down gas you were lucky to get 300 miles on a 125 gallon . Now today this is what i have seen with my own eyes , One year while getting my corn off i had a friend give me a hand i had a 1700 loadstar with a 16 foot mid west bed with a 393 four bbl five and 2 , my friend came down with his NEW 89 Dodge 3/4 ton diesel with a AUTO MATIC 4x4 pulling a Moritz tri axle grain trailer with the vary same grain bed mounted on it . last two loads taken off that farm that evening my friend had 356 bushel on his trailer i had 345 on the truck , We both pulled out together head for the elevator together This farm was way back in on a nasty old back dirt road , Vernon used low range four wheel drive to pull out of there and i eased on out in second low . BUT once were hit the black top and vernon went into high range the drive of 23 miles to the elevator he was GONE and this was not on pool table flat ground either there was a lot of shifting and splitting going on , by the time i arrived at the scales he was already dumped and waiting to weight out as i was coming in . During the day of hauling with both trucks his DODGE used a little over 20 gallon while the loadstar sucked up 75 gallon. Then here is the next kicker what is the GVW of the truck your thinking of usen , then you already said a 30000 lb trailer , NOW you fall into the large car bracket as once you cross that line in the sand of 26000 it's a whole new world and you get to meet a whole new group of people with there hands in your pocket with all kinds of goofy ideas and to make there point they dig into your pocket book HARD.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
