You Bet. Greg and Lou were here this afternoon and we put 25 lb. on it and it lifted no problem. I'm not sure how much the dump box full of dirt or sand will be, but I think it would probably be less and handle it fine.

Finally got the reach finished with lift jack installed.


Also had a chance to get some outside shots of the FWD.


Thanks for looking.

Dry sand is 100 lbs per cubic foot.

Neil. I'd never seen anything like that either and it sure is a different arrangement.
Ken. You bet sand is a lot heavier than it looks. The FWD pulled itself and the loaded trailer but the tires are not aggressive enough for anything over 6% grade. Anyway here's a couple more pictures from the Show.
Reg's dozer and Euclid with the FWD behind.

Lou looking real casual with the 966 loading his ADT.

Just a general scene of the layout.

Thanks for looking.
