    Our version of the combo truck

    Hey Arbor Pro,

    Finally got some time to post some pics of our conversion. We took delivery a a month or so ago, and have been putting it to hard work. We went with a S800 that we've had for a year, and figured out a way to drive on with the bucket, detach it on a rack, and tuck the machine under. The bed is 14'x8'x6', with the top being detachable with a few bolts (we haven't used that yet). We also carry 10 or 11 Trak Mats behind the cab, doubles as a headache rack for the machine.

    Works really well, unfortunately we goofed on the gearing and are going to have to replace the 4.11's with 4.88's. Would much rather the 6plus1 instead of the sixer it's got too. Live and learn

    Let us know what you think!

    Yup, nice set up. So, you had a bucket truck and removed the bucket to build it? Did you not need the bucket truck anymore or buy the truck with this intention?
    Curious about one thing. It seem's the axle's are barely meeting a balance point for the dump bed. Pic's, I know are deceiving, but I bet you gotta make sure you do not overload the back. Anyway, nice.

    Useless man cab

    IMO having it with you all the time instead of on a different trailer will get you a ton more use out of it. Like all those jobs we do when boss man says no don't bring the bobcat you won't need it and we end up man loading a whole truck of heavy rounds.

    I'm printing your pictures and telling him I want one.

    Truck looks great.
    Nice job on the chip truck Arbor Pro!

    Chrisdafer, I just can't climb when nature calls, and I got tired of the groundies and I wasting time running out of the neighborhood to the local gas station to use the restroom. I'm turning the "useless man cab" into a mobile John like in a motorhome, complete with water tank and sink well. It's gonna save me a ton of time and money.

    Lovin that truck! It looks super pro!

    Our man cab gets used for a water cooler, some ropes, some plywood and tires(which aren't any fun loading and unloading) and... yep that's about it! Oh! Our faller did his emergency nature calls in there last year(don't ask me about his setup) it wasn't pretty! I said no more of that nastiness and now he's drivin around in the other truck lookin for porta-potties all the time! We are never close to gas stations or other convenient spots. I don't get these guys that just can't get regular, ya know! Bugs me though that he always has to leave the job site... For all I know he's up to more than just nature calls...
    Think I maybe had to leave the job one time all last year. With this guy it's daily!?!
    Definitely can't climb or work at all though when you gotta go....
    He's the only one on our crew that seems to have this problem. I guess dropping all that big wood must just scare the crap out of him.

    I tried to PM you but the message got deleted somehow. Truck is a 2000 with low miles. 5spd with the big 7.4L gas engine. Pulls great - plenty of power to pull a big chipper. Lots of toolbox storage. Feel free to call me at 605.228.9350. scott - AP
