so now truck is also getting used to haul scrap, cement, bricks, ..... whatever I can find to fill those ruts..... then will go gravel after that. Use a M105A2 trailer with a Harbor Freight truck bed crane. Fill giant construction waste bags partially then use crane to load this into the trailer. After repeating this till body is exhausted..... Then haul it to my place. Then it is wheel barrow it out to the rut and dump it in. FunFun.
Got to do my first real lift when got back from auction.

This area was a heavily eroded and grown up ditch. The ditch was 8 ft deep in places and has been there 80 years or more. I have been clearing, contouring, and prepping to turn it into pasture to control the erosion.
The job today was to continue pulling around a bog harrow with the JD 650 dozer but then I got the thought to try the LMTV. It worked great! Aired down to "sand", put on 'Mode', and started pulling. That harrow hardly made any load at all. The LMTV is too long to make corners but a bunch of figure '8's took care of the ends of the field. Wow it was faster and quieter than the dozer! Lots of fun too.
sweeet.... mucho congratulato. what air cleaners/models did you use? if you posted this here already point to thread maybe?I... finally got it set up (swapped tires, blanance/rebuilt driveshafts, removed spare & OEM intake, fabbed new intake, removed 5th wheel/decking, relocated hyd controls, relocated trans cooler), registered, and most importantly- legally insured (through Progressive as a private use commercial vehicle), and then I DROVE IT!! Love it!
Took it to the grocery store to pick some stuff up for my wife. It's awesome!
