[AT] New tractor to me

[Spencer Yost]

Thanks Mattias!

It was a long trip back and just got back home as the sun set.   Too dark to even unload the tractor.  

Dennis, the truck did great.  For those that don't know I got a new truck - a Ram Ecodiesel.  I downsized and sold my 1 ton Ford and gooseneck. Anyways, I was really impressed.  Ran very steady and smooth and scooted up and down those hills in PA and on I-81 in VA with no problem even though I was 11K lbs total, at least.  17.8 MPG towing.   23.X mpg running with the empty trailer. Both legs at 65mph.

Thanks again Joe for letting us know about about the tractor and especially all the help you provided in setting up my trip and helping me load!

I'm trying that picture of Joe and the tractor again:
