Mackpro Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I would say yes it would be under powered. But our tri-axle dump truck guys around here want enough power to run up and down hills 85 MPH loaded to 80 thousand lbs then crawl through 3 foot of mud then run wide open back to the quarry for another load. It would be good for a guy pull his backhoe around and do small site work though. HP can be bumped up through a Mack dealer with turbo, injector and download depending on the actual engine model and how high of HP you want to go.
