short truck

[Matt601]

I can fill up once a week and run 40 miles round trip 2 time a day with My DT466. Now IM not going to be doing much over 50 but thats ok. There a pulpwood yard with in 25 miles anywhere down here and saw log with in 15 miles. pulpwood I can only put about 15 to 18 tons on logs 18 to 20 tons. I really like my truck. Buddy of mine has a short truck but his boosters are 14 foot apart. he has a 3208 cat in it with a 10 speed. he likes it and he will out run me to the mill but i be there before he is unloaded. He will spend 2 times the fuel I will too.

I have a non turbo 3208 and one of the old cheesy 13 spd's in a little twin screw straight truck. It will climb a tree, but you aren't going anywhere in a hurry, she tops out at 55.

Around here, a 4900 tandem with a DT466/530 would be common, and you would get a RR transmission.
