It must have some weight on board.

have a look at the back of the truck, you can see the spreaders, Dollars to
Donuts that its a phosphate spreader.
Why am I so sure, because of the many years I travelled back and forth from
my father in laws 10,000 acre farm on the Forbes side of Parkes to help him
and the contractor spread tri phos on every second paddock, this was before
the drought made it a waste of money.

Makes sense when I think a bit more about it.

There's no sense in spreading phosphate on heavy soils with clay
content as it gets bound to the clay and ceases to be an available
nutrient. OTOH in those southern regions where they grow their crops
hydroponically and use the natural sand to hold 'em up it probably
works! ;-)

Hence the need for ultra low tyre pressures (always best in sand).

I was thinking about this and the spreaders are also used for spreading
gypsum to help break up clay soils (probably why it was in the area) and I
have seen them spreading lime as well.
I have to say, the tyre setup on that thing is pretty interesting, imagine
the size of the studs, and imagine getting a flat on the inside rear :-)

That looks like my truck you are driving :-)

Yup, expensive. You don't want to know huge mine truck
tyre costs.
