Farm Dump truck

[Builder]

Here's where I bought mine. The buying experience wasn't perfect, truck needed more work than I would have liked, but these aren't SUV's either, they're large pieces of equipment that need maintenance and repairs when they're used.

Look at the site at your own risk. It might be a wallet, no make that bank account-emptying experience.

Oh, and BTW: Don't buy the Western Star Tandem, that's mine /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Here's another. Many of their chassis are 4x4 & 6x6, but they sometimes don't list them as all wheel drive. I'm considering a Sterling or Ford LT9513 with a 16' demolition body. http://www.trucksystem.com/sites/vhtrucks/inventory.aspx?breakout=vh_tandem_cc

My 4800 4x4 will be for sale at that time if you'd like to buy it.

In Mass there's a strange setup for registering, maybe you guys have the same? Log trucks here are registerable on farm plates, have been for a decade or so, I think. So a truck hauling logs for a commercial use pays $100 or so for tags and can weigh 40 tons or more. An equal size dump tri-axle can cost $1,200 or more to get tags. Why does the logger get to pay less than the backhoe guy? 'Cause he's hauling an agricultural product? Doesn't seem fair to the guy who pays ten times more for the same permission, and they both wreck the roads about the same.
Mass has always had strange laws, maybe because it's been around so long?

Maybe they figger logging is akin to tree growing and tree growing is akin to a kind of farming? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I drive a dump truck for a living, anything over 26,000 requires a CDL.
