In an attempt to weasel out of the lawn-thatching I promised yesterday, I decided to move some more dirt.
About 7,000 pounds more.
As you can see at right, the rear suspension on the Ford can't take much more than a solid cubic yard of topsoil. I'm guessing here that the bed is filled with a bit more than a cubic yard, and that the total payload weight is probably somewhere between 2,000 and 2,500 pounds.
Oh, and there's a silly German in the photo, too. Rock, rock on!
