    Yea, what the scoop? Not fitting in with your hauling style or to many issues with the unit

    Hey Guys, the unit seems well made, really don't have any issues with it, (although we are running it on self contained electric motor and I think the hyd. would be much better with PTO).

    I bought it primarily to see if we could get 6 of the lowered floor vans on it, unfortunately, 5 is the limit, it does work great for cars and as you can see it is the tits for hauling 7 small SUV's.

    If I don't sell it I will dedicate it to Spring Hill, Tn. GM plant and just haul cars back, that just isn't my strong suite. Other than that, it tows good, balances well, and is pretty easy to use.

    If all I hauled was cars or SUV car mix I would probably have a couple, but just to haul one extra lowered floor van than we do now just doesn't make it practical when you consider the weight and cost.

    But hey, can't blame a guy for trying. LOL!

    Hey Dorsey, probably regular mini vans, but these are "raised" 4" and the floors are dropped 10", causes issues on the 6th one, I could probably "stretch them" out enough to get four across the top, but then I am over the 60' rule in Wy.

    Just one of those deals.

    and here i thought you bought it to haul your classic cars around
    that apparently are not safe in your barn

    they ever get the culprit?

    or like most small towns everyone knows but no one is saying :biggrin_25511:

    Yeah, CY, let's put it this way, they never "arrested" anyone.

    Well when you sell the unit, I hope you can make a profit or at least break even for what you got in it.
    Can't blame a person for trying though..
     
    KANSAS TRANSIT Thanks this.

    It might be worth while to hang on to it until Spring, Stan. Maybe re-evaluate in August ......... ?
