    I was baffled too but the more I thought about it, the more I thought it was the opposite of versatile.

    Here is the one I fueled beside. That thing strapped to his deck is a pin on king pin extension basically does what a flip neck would do on a RGN. Sorry they don't show much but I was in a hurry.

    And while I'm in mode, here's what I was pulling that day. Waiting for Vacis in Ogdensburg.

    I see you have an extension on the back Rank. Do you always haul hay or straw on that trailer? You've really got them piled on.

    Yep. 3 ft rear overhang. Almost always straw with that trailer. Sometimes equipment coming home. I think I grossed ~77,500 that day....~43,500 net.

    This is a hay load. Now that I've completely hijacked this thread, I'll give it back to Ric. Sorry Ric.

    Still failing to see the point in removing the neck on a step, of having a folding neck on a step. More so the removable neck....how in hell are going to load/unload anything if the neck is off? Does it still drop to the ground like a normal RGN?
    With the added weight, I fail to see any advantage at all, unless I am missing something here.....

    Ditto. It seems a bit retarded to me.
