Probably with a bunch of other things. In this case it goes on a truck all by its lonesome. That price is the worst case scenario if I have to hire a truck to drive 16 hours and spend an hour loading/unloading at each end. Best case would be finding somebody who is deadheading north to pickup a

After going to the gym 3 days a week for a year I've actually gained (regained?) an inch as confirmed at a Dr. visit last month. I suppose this would just put that inch back. ;) I bet shipping that thing would be a big expense. I've priced moving a 14,000# backhoe the 450 miles to camp and it l

Your back would never forgive you and you would end up and inch or two shorter. -D > On Apr 13, 2021, at 1:09 PM, Curt Raymond wrote: > > I have considered such things, that one is slightly high for my price point > but if it were closer I'd probably make the stretch to get it. An advantage >

I have considered such things, that one is slightly high for my price point but if it were closer I'd probably make the stretch to get it. An advantage would be the possibility of dismounting the loader and backhoe and driving it although I suspect the 450 miles would be a looong uncomfortable

Looks like a good deal. Diesel is likely an OM352. Very capable, but not something you want to take a long highway trip in. On Tue, Apr 13, 2021 at 10:37 AM Floyd Thursby via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > It looks like it would do the job > > https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/it

exactly. He could take a leisurely drive up I-95 and get things sorted quickly. I wonder what the NJ/NY toll extortionists would charge for it to transit their fair state, or just demolish the toll booths... --FT On 4/13/21 10:40 AM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: I see the issues for the c
