Finally got some rain here in Northern Pa.
Got a load of 8" block today. Soon as the block truck started into the yard it sunk down in the mud.
We had to unload 6 cubes of (90) 8" blocks in the front yard instead of around the back where I needed them.
Yes I could of winched the block truck thru the yard but it would make too much work to fix all the grass.
I put (2) cubes on my trailer. 90 blocks at 40 pounds each (3 core concrete blocks) makes 3600 lbs per cube.
My 46 WDX has only 9 leaves in the rear springs and does not have any helpers like my 56 does.
Also I did not replace any of the original springs in the rear during my rebuild/restoration.
After putting one cube on I was worried about the springs so I just had the driver throw on a pallet of (15) 80Lb bags of mortar.
Total load on the bed 3600 Lbs of block and 1200 lbs of mortar for 4800 lbs total.
So my question is; what's the maximum load anyone has hauled on a PW??
Could I have put 2 cubes of block on for a total of 7200 lbs??
