    Don’t worry about me lol, I don’t live to pass another truck, I live to get the load there as safe and efficient as I can, just as I have since 1987. But I do play sometimes I won’t lie lol….

    We purchased one in January, but it is a little bit bigger. The quick attach never having to leave the cab is nice.

    Yea that’s bigger for sure lol. Yes that quick attach is very nice. The machine over all is very smooth too, I was impressed with it. Owner said use it while it was on the ground at my house, I moved a normal days worth of stuff in an hour with it lol. My Bessemer engine weighs 5300 lbs, handled it like nothing!

    I’m sure many have heard stories. But only 2 people from this forum have seen, heard, and cracked the throttle on my engine. 1 of those members and I ran down I-77 together….
