HD-5G and loader attachment
Picked the loader attachment up in New York, and promised a guy in Canada that I'd drive over to see the HD-5G while there. Saw Niagra falls, and did the Ontario tour. Could not resist bringing the little crawler home.

EVERYTHING WORKS


Trailer tires are in pea gravel, not squating at all. Tires did not get warm on road. Could lock trailer brakes and slide x 4, superb brakes. Truck pulled this load well, cruise at 60-62MPH, pulled 5 mile long 7% grades at 40MPH not bad for a 6.5TDA boat motor (sic). Mileage=9.26MPG with this load. Not bad.


Weighed truck & trailer & load in southern Virginia out of curiosity, and definitely much more weight than I thought. (The loader attachment is not very heavy) This crawler is heavy.

HEAVY.
