Was looking if anyone is towing around their equipment with Deuces? I have a 28k lbs excavator and just checking on mostly flat ground around town if the deuce LDT engine can handle this or not?

I am assuming you are talking about on a pintle?Was looking if anyone is towing around their equipment with Deuces? I have a 28k lbs excavator and just checking on mostly flat ground around town if the deuce LDT engine can handle this or not?
I think you'll enjoy it more that way tooI will keep it as is, for light duty and fun
1: you should be more concerned about stopping power and pintle capacity .. you have plenty of gears for that engine to get you anywhere you need with that load, you have low range all the way up into 5th (@30mph) before you hit the high side of the xfer case to go any faster , but a deuce is only rated at 10k towed pintle load highway .. 5-ton M39-series and M809-series is 30k towed pintle load highway .. Bad me, I have towed a beavertail load of 34k with a M52 (tractor) instead of the M51 (dump) in order to have better control of the trailer load and the "overloaded" pintle connection... Had anything broken, we all know right where the liability would have been placedWas looking if anyone is towing around their equipment with Deuces?
