Hey, that's unfair characterization... Bubba with his 12"lift powerstroke is not a farmer, and he doesn't pull anything, even though he has a 12"drop hitch on his second gen dodge Cummins. Bubba with the 12" lift is a redneck who thinks he's country, but if he was really country, he'd realize that none of that is practical for country living. The real country guys are the ones driving a diesel farm truck that may be tuned and deleted, but they're not rolling coal, they're also not lifted, and they actually work for a living, unlike bubba who has a big credit card and a lot of payments, and is on food stamps and welfare, because "he can't work" because of some disorder he has.
There is a bit of facetiousness in there, but it's very true to my area...
You'd be so so surprised. Some young punks out here actually have FARM PLATES for your aforementioned described trucks. And it cracks me up, because in our County, Cummins and Powerstrokes are the norm (those who drive the 6.5L or the Duramax are really looked down upon). One guy who used to work at the farm I'd buy my hay from wouldn't deliver in his own truck once. Why? He said he doesn't use it as his work truck that often (lifted, wheels that protrude outwards, and that retarded LED lighting, hooked up with SPEAKER wire and a rat's nest of wiring under the hood). And of course, it rolled coal just to move without a load.
Ha, this whole post made me laugh. My farm truck is indeed a deleted 7.3L, but the only time I don't have a trailer attached is when it goes to a shop. 100% of the time, it's used for agriculture purposes (though I need to replace yet another blown ICP o-ring to stop my oil leak).
The farmer may be rolling coal but that's only when trying to get that wagon moving. Might also be rolling coal becasue his current farm truck is held together with bailing twine and barbed wire. His bank won't loan him the $$$ for a new truck.
LOL. My county is very rural, and the primary industry out here is agriculture, but I don't see a lot of true redneck fixes out here. Okay, you see some, but not that bad with bailing wire. Granted,
@alphaseinor 's Audi has tow pieces of zip tie to hold up the front bumper, and he's not even close to a redneck. My truck only rolls some coal if I put the appropriate tune, but even with a decent load on the trailer, it's not really pumping out smoke, even on acceleration, and I have upgraded injectors, upgraded HPOP and it's straight piped.
Boy, a lot of these city slickers have some funny notions about what America's farmers are driving, lol.
Well, I know your truck is just the newer version of my truck. But yes, concurred! Fun off topic segue though.
