Nice. What you pay if you dont mind sharing? Was it a old railroad truck?

Yes, it was a railroad truck. It still has a lot of the controls in the cab for the old highrail gear. Everything operates as it should, tires are all great, and all the boom pivot points are nice and tight. I THINK it has received good maint. from it's previous owners, as the whole truck is tight and in good operating condition. The truck even has air conditioning from the factory.
I willl have no problem getting it to pass, for a DOT inspection sticker.
I don't mind sharing the price. I paid $17000 for it.

nice truck, only issue i see is the joysticks on the loader are a nightmare to operate. but it looks like a solid truck.

Yes, a lot of the trees here do not drop their leaves until after the first of the year. When I had my landscape business, we never were able to finish with leaf cleanups until about mid to late Jan. I hated that, as I wanted a couple of months off before mowing started again in March.

That's a pretty nice truck there. Hope you can get some good use from it!
