We had to move a 98,000lb plastic pellet rail car today at work so we could access it with a bulk truck. Didn't know what the outcome was going to be.......

:rockwoot: Cummins 12V




How about your right rear wheel ? :poke:
 
Pretty Sweet! Didnt sound like it was working hard at all. Once you got it moving that was all it took.
 
ar ar ar ar ar.....*in a Tim the tool man voice*

Nice. :D Sharp truck too.
 
we move 200ton locomotives at work with a little fork lift it dont take much
 
i know weweld hauls similar looking train cars with his f450 . next time dont pull up so far in front of the car...backing over the ties looked uncomfortable. awesome video with a great ending!!
 
Curbs, they jump out at ya real quick. :)

Are you like the first person to stall a 12v with an auto? That's a hell of a lock up switch.
 
We used to pull loaded grain rail cars, sometimes 4 at a time at over 160,000 LBS a piece (not including the weight of the steel car) with a 4x4 chev with a 6.2 in it.....LOL

Don't take much if its perfectly flat. Up any kind of incline is another story.
 
HAHA, Im putting a 12v in my 03 chevy HD, and was wondering if the conversion is worth the time and effort, and if he would reccommend it
