Default Cummins hard at work....

Whats the hardest work your CTD has done?
Mine is mainly a dayly driver but it was only 2 days old when I did this with it.........................

10,000lb boat being loaded on a trailer. Actually the trailer is being pushed under the boat with the truck


Here I am trying to keep the boat from pushing back. The CTD was dragging the boat and the Trailblazer down the driveway, Cummins POWER baby!!
Also notice how high the *** end of the truck is, there was so much wieght being forced on the front wheels, I couldt turn the steering wheel at one point.

It's been a while since we had a boat but I think we used to launch it in the water not in the yard. Doesn't the propeller tear the **** out of the grass?

That looks like a big *** heavy boat. Why was it off the trailer?

I bought it with no trailer and had it delivered and set on blocks. I found a trailer for it and then had to find a way to get it on there. I tell ya what, that Cummins in 4-Wheel LOW, you can almost idle it under that boat. You can see where I had the Trailblazer hooked to the boat? With very little effort, I was pulling the trailblazer backards screetching across the driveway at just barely more than idle.

I was on call to haul more Gators this year, but was out of town last time they needed me
