A New Truck Gets to Work

We bought another vehicle at the end of last month after our F450 encountered some difficulties.  We call our new truck "Ginger" and she is a 1997 F250 Heavy Duty with a 7.3 liter diesel.  She had a few small problems when we bought her which we easily repaired.   The rear differential case leaked which we fixed with a new cover plate.  She also needed a new thermostat.  When we went to fix that, we realized she also needed a new water pump so we got her one.  A new fuel filter and a new air filter and she is running great.  We put her to immediate use hauling dirt on our land with our dump trailer.  We can haul 3 tons of dirt at a time which speeds up our excavation activities not to mention taking some of the burden off the tractor.

The F250 Heavy Duty - 4WD with an extra low setting - perfect for moving around the land.

Hooked up to "Big Red", our dump trailer, she is ready to haul dirt.

WIth three tons of dirt in the trailer, she is positioned to dump.

We can back her right up to the edge of the fill zone for maximum efficiency.

Three tons of dirt can be placed right where you want it.
