I've seen something like that at some of the drill sites that we take soil cement to. as the locations are so bad we can't take our highway tractors up in there we have to drop the trailers and they hook those things to pull the trailer up in to unload them. As Karl said, going places you shouldn't go.
------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

| That is a prime mover. Had one on auction time a couple months ago. Discussion about it on the construction section of the forum. The one on auction time brought about one fifth of that price. Darrel |

| That one could be the same one that was on auction time, because Detroit Diesels were not put in them from the factory. The one on auction time also had a Detroit. Suppose more than one of them could have been converted to a screaming Jimmy though. Darrel |
