    I think Mac went to get a bigger truck after he realized the screen plant wouldn't fit on his rollback.

    @macavoy Here's a "rollback" story. In 05 or 06 one of my best friends decided he wanted an old dozer for his 120 acre ranch. He found a TD9 on CL cheap & bought it (against my recommendation). It didnt run & was back in a place that only my rollback could get to. My rollback had been sitting, unlicensed & uninsured & for sale. Sooooooo, I loaded the rollback on my hyd. tail Trailking & went out Hwy 166 east of Santa Maria about 20 miles & off the road. Unloaded the RB & headed down the dirt road to the TD9. Winched it onto the rollback, chained er good & then back up onto the trailking. Headed back down 166 about 10 miles & off onto a Co. Rd. & unloaded & then another 5 miles back to my buddies place with the TD9. It was quite top heavy as you can guess especially on the air ride trailer. BUT, I was legal and I have a lifetime supply of red oak from his ranch. No pictures unless my friend took one, will check tomorrow. Mac, dont try this in the Houston area!! lol.

    That TR took a long time to type, its in my journal thread. The good thing is, I got to enjoy 3 adult beverages while typing that story.

    The best part was we bought a new fridge at New Years because the old one was having food go bad. Well it came with an ice maker but the sink was on the opposite side of the kitchen. Got it hooked up yesterday so my adult beverages had plenty of ice to chill out off.


    Mmmm delicious reward after an honest days work.

    Thought I saw a truck that looked like yours headed West on I10 around Sheldon Road, early Thursday afternoon. Was that you?
