they can move moutnains but like everyone else is saying not very fast. its basically an offroad tool that can moving massive amounts of weight with exceptional ease. the way they are geared they can do things that a modern truck with a big block or diesel cant. if you go watch tractor pulls with flathead power wagons you will see them walking all over rigs with 3 times the horsepower. they just cant do it very well at freeway speeds. I used to tow 6000 or so pound loads around in my WC52 and my highway speed averaged 45 on the flats. hills were 2nd or 3rd gear. they shine when pavemnet is non existent.
