    Mike I am thinking about possibly coming out of retirement. I have looked at several similar Gliders recently that weren’t up to my standards. I am going to look at this tomorrow and hopefully it suits my needs. 2018 Glider with a 2WS Cat, 18 speed and 290” WB. It is owned by a friend of a friend and the only sore spot I can see so far is a slight ding on the behind the cab tool box. IMG_2162.png

    Found a nice one owner trailer if I pull the trigger on a tractor. I should have just slowed down to 2-4 days a week instead of selling mine, but I didn’t. Maybe I can slow down if I buy another one. IMG_1946.png

    It seems to be, I looked at it last week. He built it with quite a few extra options than a stock trailer. I like buying new generally but if we can agree on a price I may go used.

    Yes it appears to be in very good shape from what I seen and have been told, I will lay hands on it today.
    A friend of mine I have worked with for years knew I was looking to un-retire and his friend is selling for health reasons. If I like it in person I will have a shop I have done business with for years give it a good going over and I may put it on a dyno.
