I was thinking for $15k it could be worth doing. The bed is super short (didn't realize it was that short)... It won't take much to fill it up, a dump trailer could haul more, but such is life. On second look, the rear axle placement is better than I thought. 4x4 usually means really slow...

That's a very small loader, it would be out of place on a full size truck.

It's better than nothing, and the price is relatively low, but it is 32-33 years old and terribly small all around. Financing could be tough on it.

Thanks, Stephen! Hills just take time, usually! 500hp Detroit 12.7L.

It depends on how heavy you are is the main thing I've found that changes the shifting, but the shifting is natural. When heavy, I'll split the low gears to keep the RPM up. Empty I can go 2-4-6-7-8-8 split.

Yeah, you split more gears as you row along, depending on how big of a hurry you're in, it comes naturally. Driving wise isn't much different, I spec'ed the trailer's wheelbase to follow the truck well (only slightly to the inside) of the truck's radius). The dovetail has a 4klb haul rating on...

I might build some for it, but it's not a pressing need at this point as best I can tell. I'm not exactly sure how I'd design them. (Thinking out loud) Making C sections for bunks from square tubing is obvious. I could stack 3 on the front of the trailer with the bottoms to the front and...

I'm a dealer for Load Trail trailers, fwiw. Nick, air brakes of course. I've got aluminum wheels to get mounted, maybe this week. It's a hydraulic dovetail, 30'er, tandem 15klb axles, and a remote control for the tail.

I got the trailer in for the grapple truck in Wednesday and put it to work Thursday. While it will be too big to get into some areas, being able to move tree debris, the 70' lift, and a loader or excavator or CTL and Ex or whatever in one trip.

Thanks! It's odd to think I've been doing trees for 13 years as well as how far it has come in that time!

We're done with the county hauling contract for now, they're going to wait a week and see how much more debris comes out. We hauled 91 loads in 11 working days, the highest count was 12, the lowest 2 (AC clutch went out), an average of 8.27 loads per day; I bid it planning to average 6 loads a...

Hauled 12 loads for the county today, finally broke the previous record of 11 loads in a day. The 12 loads also sets our new daily income record (for normal,non storm/insurance work). Our daily production record has been broken at least 3 times since we bought the grapple truck in late January...

Sometimes! We hauled 32 loads this week for the county. Tomorrow we'll do some of our own work, trying to get caught up!

Here's a picture from today, before we finished cutting it apart. The grapple's jaw is 5' wide. And here's 50 alturnamats!

Nice! I don't know if I've said it in this thread or not but I got a contract with the county to haul the storm debris from a tornado 3 weeks ago. We started hauling Monday, the AC clutch went out Tuesday morning and got it fixed Wednesday afternoon. As of yesterday we have hauled 26 loads...

To compete with the other A frame loaders in the North American market.

Hauled 9 loads yesterday for the county in my grapple truck, on my second load today the AC clutch went out so I'm getting off that job early today. Peter, Palfinger makes an Epsilon now with the A frame style outriggers for the US market, fwiw.

The baby has no tag and likely a smaller bed.
