    Maybe he was trying on his own to make it a quick loader by removing all the unwanted rails ? :confused3:

    Looking good!

    I don't remember if I told you, but you can pretty much load SUVs without pulling the skids, just drop the bags. Verify chin clearance, because I believe they cut the extension of #9 cylinder a bit on the newer builds, but it ought to still work. Q
     
    Banker and Tall Mike Thank this.

    @Banker

    Is there a big weight difference as compared to your previous setup ?

    Roughly 3,000 lbs, but a 4 car headrack was heavy so I doubt your average 3 car Cottrell would see as big a difference as I did.
     
    Tall Mike Thanks this.

    With identical trucks and a standard Cottrell headrack on the old one, I'm ~1600 lbs lighter than I was.
