Ran a f450 for years and was happy but now have a F550 and it hauls even the T190 or 430 mini's with ease.Ī small dump can also be usefull for onsite hauling short distances that are just to far for a bobcat to carry but not for long distance.įor sure it's not quite like driving the f450 Super Duty crew cab dually with color matched canopy to the store for milk(can you say useless waste of a good truck?) but your f550 will handle that small bobcat with easePayment Processing and Merchant SolutionsĪmerican Sanders & Pioneer Eclipse offers a Full Line of Floor Care Machines & Chemicals.Īirman Generators and Air Compressors, Off-grid Grid-to-go Power Supply System, MAC3 Pneumatic Tools, and more.Įvent Tents, Canopies and Related Accessories I "would' not recomend that setup to my worst enemy.Upgraded that one to a long wheel base and although still a bit weak in the brakes handled much better. Let me tell you that rig was a reel handfull specially on icy roads. I started in 1982 with a short wheelbase 69 1ton chev with an all steel tilt deck and a 753 bobcat (young and foolish). Parking is almost always a problem in the city centers on the coast and can be near impossible with an extra 20' of trailer behind you. There basic rule is appropiate commercial artisan (not for hire) insurance for your weight and no more than 8000 per axle. DOT and scales only run 4500 K and up here, under that and your on your own. Some even carry their hoe attachments ( not recomended by me). Just trying to play devils advocate here guys.Īlmost every one here in B.C. As far as hauling snow, why can't he add higher sides to the bed to increase capacity? Unless the truck is over 15,000 lbs empty, he should be able to haul the skid without a problem. Those trucks have the same axle width as a 550 but I don't think the rollback is exceedingly top heavy.Īn F-550 has a gross weight rating of up to 19,000 lbs. Think about all the times you see a car on a rollback tow truck. The CG of skid steers is quite low and the machine doesn't weigh that much to begin with. I don't think it will be noticeably top heavy either. As long as the machine can be properly secured and the bed can be pinned down, I say go for it as long as the GVWR is not exceeded. A good set of 10' ramps and it won't be an issue. Some guys running around with full v-boxes are approaching 4,000 lbs and they are doing it with 3/4 and 1 tons.Īs far as going up and down ramps, whats the problem? I go up and down ramps all storm long with my skids. Thats about the equivalent of 2 yards of dirt. Guys, we are talking about a Bobcat 553 here.
Thats the only way to determine of the truck is capable of handling the weight without exceeding the GVWR. First off, we need to know what the gross weight of the 550 is and what the actual weight of the truck is as it sits.
