HOW BIG IS IT!?

A few pics of the Barko 930 posing with the trucks. I had to give the Nissan back to the wife when I picked up the new F-550 last week. I knew it would ride kind stiff but I had no idea. I have to keep the transfer tank full of fuel just to make the ride bearable. Oh well they're just kidneys..do i really need them anyway?

My Dad has done about 80 percent of the running for the past year and a half. Since I have a good woman and two kids at home I do all of the running around looking for work. Since April I have had to do a lot more machine time since we had jobs in different areas that had to be done at the same time. So to answer your question my dad is my other operator right now. I will be running the Barko in AZ and the 148 will be in NM and the 140 hopefully will be on someone elses job soon.

Does the FGT heads have options for teeth or just the standard carbide?

I just got a F550 too(brand new 2009 leftover), I think it rides better then my 06 F350. It does have a utility body so maybe the weight helps...

Right tools for the right job..you got that cover darn well.

Stone teeth are available and it is reported that chipper teeth are in the development stage.

I looked high an low for a 2009-10 holdover 550 that had everything I needed and they could not find one so I ended up with the only 2011 that they could find. There were a bunch out there but the dealers would not let them go. The one I got came from Wisconsin.

A dealer here has plenty of 10's on the lot(350 450, 550) some cab and chassis and at least 15 with dumps. Seems crazy but he seemed sure they would all go. I got the last 09 and was thinking Dodge but this thing was built and had a hitch and my patience was short after my 350 sat in the shop (of another dealer)for a week and they didn't touch it. I drove right to the dealer and made the deal. done. back to work the next day.

The 2011's scared me a little with the urea tank but I know you get a lot better mileage then me!

I got her lettered up since this pic
