25,000 - 35,000L depending on configuration
That depends entirely on the specs of the vehicles. I've run a dump truck with a 12.8 Cat C-13, 18 OD, and 3.90s which could probably toast most fire trucks on the top end. I've also run some which had much smaller engines and much taller rear ends and would probably get toasted by most anything in a fire department's inventory.
It is a yellow truck.
its where you take a dump on your cat
No, but they do have the choice to come rescue the cat or not, depending on if they have an available truck. Just be sure to be honest with them when you call, and tell them it's for a cat rescue. But they are usually good about things like that.
Well, it's going to depend on wheelbase, what type of dump body you have, what your drivetrain consists of, etc. The last T800 tandem dumps I drove... with a steel split gate rock tub, C11 Cat engine, and 10 speed transmission, I had a tare of around 24,500. With a steel dirt box, C10 Cat engine, and 10 speed transmission, I had of around 22,500.
Certifed Automated Truck Scale
The cat is not fascinated with your bathroom habits, it simply understands that you are a captive audience and wants attention.
When I drove for Pioneer Sand, our T800 tandems with steel dirt tubs, C10 Cat engines, and 10 OD transmissions weighed in around 23,000. With the steel rock tubs, C11 Cat engines, and 10 OF transmissions, they scaled about 1,000 lbs. heavier.
