Ya it pulls hard, In the bush we see 15% to 28% grade hills. Theres usually a Tow Cat, and 2 sets of tire chains required when its muddy or slippery.

Man, after I get a handle on the load size those can haul all I can think about is having to pack a lunch to check the air pressure in all them tires.

The trip pre-check must take 2 hours.
