You probably can pull the load ok on flat ground, but like Kurt said, the hills will slow you down which is not a problem for the truck, but it can be for traffic. Don't know if the road you take is 2 or 4 lane, light or heavy traveled and are there turnouts so you can let traffic go by. If you do use the truck, MAKE SURE YOU USE A ORANGE TRIANGLE that is used for slow moving equipment on the back of the hay. Believe it or not, it does make a difference in how fast vehicles approach you from behind - they slow down a lot quicker. If you have to stop on a steep grade, shift the TC in low range and start out until you are at good rpm in third, then shift the TC out of low into high and continue in third until you can shift to a higher gear. Be patient, keep the rpms of the engine up (don't lug) and you should be fine.
