If you think its impressive now wait until you drive it with 700hp to the ground. Hard to beat a tuned Acert.
 
It won't take 700hp very long to frag that 10 speed either. I'd be on the hunt for a 13 or 18 speed before you get tuned.
 
As long as he isn't stupid with it, he shouldn't have any trouble, and if it is a FRO they are rated for 200 more pounds of torque in the top two gears over what they are listed as.

My B model had a 11 series trans for a while, and now it's in front of a 12513.

Agreed, never known anyone who destroyed one with HP. I've come close just by having diesel or oil on my boot and it slip off the clutch.
 
I dont rag on it or anything, only thing it does it haul grain and pull a flatbed in the summer for the pulling tractors.

I don't see it being being overweight. I've baled hay all my life, those are small rolls and wrapped, so they're not heavy from being wet. And they're not green, can't weigh over 1500 pounds each. They are loose rolls also(light) 23 rolls@1500 is 34,500 pounds. That truck & trailer can't weigh over 40K. I'm gonna guess it at 76K max! Let me know how close I was! LOL
 
Looks like I got a little ahead of myself typing. I meant to say 750 pound rolls@ 46. Guess you got my drift though. LOL You're probably good though!
 
No chance of being overweight there... We haul 24 one ton square bales in dry vans and typically gross 71k-73k
 
If its an all steel trailer I'm going to guess 83-86k gr. We had been grossing around that with 39 sq bales on a steel double drop. I could be way off though, I cant tell how big those are.
 
Those bales are 71% moisture and the air gauge for the drives is way higher than when I'm maxed out on the drives hauling a set of B trains so I think it'll be a bit heavier but I guess we are going to find out.
