Chris - I used Daryl Stangler rims I just dremmeled the inside down to fit the smaller rubber - I did the same thing to the 9320's rims. I used to have 800's on it but with the 8770's you just don't see that around these parts because 8770's hp doesn't really need 800's. I wanted to put more realistic rubber on it. The rims where way to big so it took some careful cutting. It's one of the most realistic rim on the market in my opinion.

I have a question for anyone who can answer it. Hows come a large farm like yours has three straight trucks and no semis. I mean here in Indiana any farm over 1000 acres has at lest one semi. And your roads up there are even better than ours for running semis.

And your roads up there are even better than ours for running semis. Preference. Some guys like straight trucks some guys like semi's. It also depends how your bins are set up, some guys are just to tight for semi's and up here if you have a semi you probably are running Super-B's. We farm 4000 acres with one tandem and 4 single axle smaller trucks because it is cheaper and it works. We also (usually) have enough labor to keep everything running. Region has a bit to play in also, 1000 acres up here is on the smaller side.

Thanks Clayton - I just got back from fishing. Couldn't have explained it better!

That makes sense. I know the guys I work for have several bins that they only fill and empty with a straight truck. Thanks for explaining.

I've always liked your shop. The 8770 and the straight trucks are awesome! Great job on them.
