specs on rig for flatbed work

I bet your dealer will order you a 579 roller and deliver it to Thompson cat for you to be finished

 

From what I understand they do not do that. Maybe @Bigfoot030475 knows something the rest of us dont?

 

Idk my dealer said he would order me a roller if it was something I wanted to do. I didn't ask much BC I don't have that kind of cash flow, YET.

 

Ya its only on the models @johndeere4020 listed unless there is some new info that Bigfoot has.

 

Cleavland bros CAT. I thought will build you a glider with a cat motor and 4yr warranty on build...

 

Hoover does cats

 

The only gliders Pete offers is the 386, 388, and 389 Kenworth is the T660, T800 split hood, and the W900. I just went through this in September. I didn't share it on here because I wasn't actively posting as much then and it seemed weird to just bring it up out of the blue 6 weeks later. But on September 16th a girl in an F150 pulled out in front of me in my Western Star and tore it up pretty bad, we thought it might be totaled so I started getting prices on gliders. That's the info I came up with, I talked to our local Pete and KW dealer as well as Fitzgerald and D and B equipment from Kentucky, the all said the same thing. You can't get just any truck as a glider. Kenworth said they are "gauging" interest in the T880 as a glider but it's not available at this time.

 

What's a T800 split hood? I know there's a couple different models. I don't really care enough for the look to have figured it out precisely. I know there's a high hood version, and at least 2 hood lengths...plus a wide hood.

So many options!

 

The T800 split hood is the one with external air cleaners. I don't think they make the high hood at all anymore. But for gliders it the longer bbc (can't remember the length) with the air cleaners, when you have the external air cleaners the lower part of the fender on the hood stays put when you tilt the hood because it wouldn't clear the air cleaner, that's wher they get "split" at or so I'm told.
