IAGary said: (quoted from post at 06:58:17 12/04/09) Here in Iowa you would be allowed 36000 pounds on the tandum rear. And up to 20,000 on the front if the axle was rated to handle the weight
Most are only rated for 16,000 on the steer axle.
16K plus 36K equals 52K. Most weigh in at 20K empty. So your net weight you could haul would be 32K.
571 bushel legal.
This truck here is legal at 38K and weighs 11,500 empty.
Can haul 470 bushel legal. And it is only a F600 with a tag axle.

As someone said, best check local regulations & posted bridge weight limits along your route (here, many are below std gross limits), if you care about being legal.....some don't.
In general, the laws require that the maximum gross load on any truck cannot exceed 80,000 lbs, the maximum load on any pair of tandem axles cannot exceed 34,000 lbs, and the maximum load on any single axle cannot exceed 20,000 lbs. Total length must not exceed 65 feet and total width must not exceed 96 inches. Fella here bought the county a bridge when he went thru it with 43,000 pounds (single axle bob tail).

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
