| Cool and useful, I have a Clark tugger about that size, we use it for moving machinery around the shop, mine weighs about two tons and will pull a 30,000# machine on movers dollies like it isn't even there, off pavement though, be careful, no suspension and no ground clearance with heavy ply tires equals stuck in a hurry if it gets soft or slick. |

Bob, I may have caused some confusion posting that pic for ya,AND I Apologize for that.Guys the description I posted was off the auction site that bob bought his tug on. The pic I posted was from George Nesbitts auction pics that I found online.I just used that particular picture because it showed some of the specs that folks were asking about, that's all.I was not in any way implying that it came from the Nesbitt sale.Sorry if I cause any confusion.  ------------- 54 wd-45gas ; 56 wd-45d N/F w/fact p/s ; 63 d-17 sIII N/F gas ; 60 D14 N/F ; 67 d-17 sIV N/F gas ; 63D15 sII W/F; 39rc#667 ; 2021 massey 4710 fwa ; gravely 2 wheel tractors |
