first low boy i ran was an old Rodgers fixed neck beavertail twin axle with 8 wheels per axle. only ran that one three times when the boss sold it and replaced with a Rodgers 100 ton 10 foot wide 28 foot deck double detachable. that was the one with the 14/24 tires on it. connected to the DM800 with 14/24 tires i weighed a hair over 78,000 pounds EMPTY. with the "S" tags, i was legal for if i remember correctly 220,000 lbs. with the D8K with full "U" blade and full fuel tank i weighed around 218,000 lbs.

when you are up to your armpits in alligators,

it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

This size DM-800 14.00 X24 tire image.thumb.jpeg.af744ed9d2a07c6e8313d296b350d81b.jpeg

boy does that bring back memories!!!. those damn tires were heavy too. 

i could get in that rig 6am weighing 220 pounds in the summer, and at 6 pm get out weighing 190 after sweating my asterisk off. 

and the heater in winter was not worth a damn either.
