I think it sounds kind of cool. You've got to figure out the power/weight thing too. My rig is 25k lbs. It's just the right power. It pulls my 8k lbs enclosed car hauler with ease. But, I wouldn't want less power. 30k lbs is close on single screw. I'd consider maybe going twin screw. Especially with the length you're thinking. You'd have to have a ton of overhang on the back to keep the front end light enough wouldn't you? I don't know much about this stuff tho. Keep tossing out ideas too. Once you make the final decision it's hard to make changes.
