    Keen uses them.

    Why not discuss with @superhauler options of making your own 4 axle rig. Should cost about the same or less than the jodog.

    I need to stay Candianstan compliment for now. Running heavyish haul is the plan someday when the kid takes over the farm. Hopefully.
    Then I can help a month or two in the spring and fall. And truck in the meantime.

    We move crushers all the time and we use a 2 axle jeep to keep the height down.

    They raise the fifth wheel anywhere from 6 inches to a foot. If you're looking for one western Canada is the place to go you see them in the auctions all the time but they get expensive. They call them a jump jeep up there. Have you thought about building a pin on axle for your truck to move the crushers with??

    Cnasper brings up a good point you could go to Texas and find a short little tandem axle jeep and move them with that.

    that one k a tec will hold as much yards as both of those Deeres and be moving dirt years after the Deere pans are toast. I will say 2 good points about the Deere narrow pans so it doesn't take alot of hp and they have good cylinders. Volvo and Bell both made dirt pan tractor that had a regular reynolds drawbar hook up they was double the price of a quad track you don't see alot of them

    If you have the swing clearance, I'd recommend a short tandem over a single jump jeep. A S/A jump will defiantly raise your height, of you are under 15' I'd say no worries, but once you get over 15'H the world becomes increasingly difficult.
    Any Ritchie Bros auction will have inventory...
