Just be careful I know those ramps aren't overly long so load with the truck off a shallow depression if possible. And don’t ride it up…walk alongside 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your set up is a lot cooler than mine… I’m slumming it… Never-the-less, the horses are loaded. The Work Horse gets to ride in the Heavy Chevy because it was a few lbs lighter going up the ramps… Edited June 19, 2022 by Horse Newbie 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turns out at 7 ft long, and the Heavy Chevy being at stock height, the Work Horse went up the ramps with ease in Low 1st. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brockport Bill 1,646 #84 Posted June 20, 2022 i sure hope those washed, clean, pretty tractors don't see any dusty roads for the trip? But you will get some tourists along the highways bending some necks to look at those beauties!!! Plus some likely purchase offers at the rest stops!! They look awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Come to think of it he even has a outdoor wash station in his rig same as mine. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike in NC 341 #96 Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) On 6/5/2022 at 9:56 PM, 953 nut said: You could get onto I-77 north of Charlotte. I take I-40 to Statesville NC, head north on I-77 to I-81 and stay on II-81 all the way up to Chambersburg, PA. Best gas stops on I-81 are VA exit # 84 and VA exit #291. Gas prices go up a bunch once you leave VA. We always stop at Exit 323 on I-81 in VA. This is the last exit before WV. We stop at the Flying J. I wish I could go but can not make it.
