Nebraska, The land of corn and cattle

roddfarms - 7/24/2021 11:47 A psi gauge measuring boost could be very helpful in diagnosing a problem. But realistically, on a big 2.5 mile river hill pull, a truck that runs out of power and only averages 35 mph will take 4.5 minutes to get to the top. A truck with enough power to hold 65 mph will get there 2 minutes faster. 2 minutes, times 6 loads in a day ? 12 minutes. How much can you spend repowering or trading trucks to save 12 minutes a day? Although I realize what many farmers do about trucks can be better explained by Tim the Tool Man Taylor's gorilla grunts than by any kind of reasoning...
