No idea. I guess 275HP at the rear wheels. It's got the basic mods... Chip, intake, and exhaust.

Good... We don't want it to grow. It's gonna be carved up.

Wow... yeah, my F150 can not only tow that, but a semi truck stuck in a ditch all at the same time.

Zach and I should have a tow off sometime...

But I think I will be convinced my \/6 F150 will get ripped in half with Zach's truck.

I think I saw some Swedish guy named Sven pull a tree like that attached to a rope with his teeth...

How long did it take you to put the tree on the trailer anyway? and any idea how much that would weigh?

Saw the title and saw this coming entirely.

Curious as well. Did you use a Bobkat or some kind of front loader and a chain?

Or did you slide it on there using a tractor?

I could see like 5 different ways of loading it.

I loaded the tree using a bobcat. Not sure exactly what size, but it was a process of getting it on. Bobcat could lift 2300lbs, and it wouldn't lift the root ball of the tree. Had to halfway roll the roots onto the trailer, then chain it up, then pick up the other end of the tree and slide it over, then finish the root ball.

Putting the tree on the trailer only took maybe 30 mins, and half of that was figuring out how to get it on. Getting the tree into position to get it on the trailer took more like 2 hours.
