What's the Best Farm Truck to Haul my Tractor and Cattle with?

[HHR]

Truck is probably worth at least $3,000 in good running shape.

Any chassis from the south where road salt is not used . Gassers are cheap to repair compared to an emissions diesel.
Payments over 7 years at low interest on new is a consideration. Several years of driving before paying for repairs.

It sold for $2600, I wanted in but the auctioneer sold it before I could get in. I was waiting on two bidders to slow down before I got in on it, one guy backed off and he sold the truck without asking for more bids.

Here was my farm truck

85 C30. and yes i had the plow for it also. 3 speed with granny low.

did it make a great farm truck yes. would i recommend it for regular hauling.... it towed fine but was 100% everything a 21centrury vehicle isnt. It was loud, slow, and hot.

Do i like towing with my 2001 E350 with booming tunes, AC and a comfortable seat, heck yes. Do i miss my dumptruck with plow... yes.

Too bad. That's a pretty good price for a truck like that.

If you've got luck like mine, the other bidder would have bid you up to $5000.

3k would have been my absolute max so I wouldn't have gone too much higher.

Guys what do we think of 2001 F350s? I'm looking at one tomorrow going up for auction on Thursday.

It looks like a 2wd from pics on the internet, it has a lift gate and a flatbed.

It has 57,700 miles on it, I kinda wanted a V10 but from what I read they are 05 and later, as of right now idk what motor it has in it.

That pic is all the info I have currently, any input on this year and what it might be worth, thanks

What do you think? Cone truck or maybe a hauler of tanks like LP or propane?

I'm thinking it set idol a lot

Just went to a sheriffs unused vehicle sale and watched a 1996? 7.3 diesel dually 4x4 with 136,000 miles on it. Ran real good
No rust and even had a lift gate and staked flat bed to . Bid to and sold for $2500

I am still kicking myself for Not buying a 2004 4x4 tahoe that was super clean but the LS engine had a tick in it - sold for $850...
stuck my bid card hand up right as the auctioneer said sold

similar to what happened to you- auctioneer didn't even wait 5 seconds after calling $900 before yelling SOLD for $850
