    Seems to me a wood stove would guarantee their demise.

    Good morning everyone.

    Was out the door at 06:20 to go look at a 2011 Cat 246C for sale, comes with bucket, and snow blade. If I were to buy it, would like to also purchase a snowblower for it.

    Funny you should mention that. I just signed the papers on a self loader that was part of an estate deal. I'm familiar with the truck and the people selling it and it's just a good deal all around.
    It's in Yakima and as soon as I get the plaster off of my leg and arm I'll probably bring it home.
    Now the problem will be finding a good driver for it. Guys with self loader experience who are any good are scarce as hens teeth.

    How did you hurt your limbs?

    Congrats on the SL logging truck.
    I love those things.
    Does it have the 20K lb front end?

    Make sure it has the hydraulic quick couplers for the blower as well as the additional electric control for the chute control.

    Are those the trucks that have a grapple arm mounted to them?

    Pic or pic of similar would help?
