Nice truck. good luck with it man. what is the GVW of the truck and how much can weight can you pick?
and ya, new knuckleboom trucks aren't cheap. I priced one out not too long ago. 2007 Sterling 9513 with Prentice 124 at $160,000. Needless to say, its still not parked in my lot.

the gvw is 31,000. and im not shure what it will pick up. not enough !! i tried to pick up a prentice f90 boom with the f90 and it wouldnt do it, it was tippin the truck on its side lol. but along with the truck i bought 2 extra prentice f90 booms for 500 bucks each. not to be mean but the guy who i bought the stuff off of knew nothing about nothing., the 2 booms i bought are worth 12,000 each. and i bought them both for 1000 bucks lol.

It's a good thing you came across that truck before I did..LOLOL.
I'm a little confused about what you said about trying to pick up another f90 boom and kept tipping the truck.....Was this with the outriggers down??..I'm not sure what those things weigh,but it doesn't seem like it would be enough to tip the truck...I have loaded some very big logs with mine and had no trouble at all.

i bought 2 other f90 booms and the truck., i coudnt load them. tooo heavy. they were tippin the truck to the side. not bad. but i didnt want to distroy my new truck lol. so now im going to have to have them delivered up here.
if anyone knows a hauling company who will have a boom on a tractor trailer who can load the booms on a flatbed and deliver them let me know

Nice truck, it would fit my interests well.
What are the associated costs and requirements with running equipment of that sort?
What is the difference between private use and business/independant contractor use?
Thanks.

Wow, I didn't realize they were that expensive. Was that with a rolloff included or something?

Do you know who built that body?
Is that a 24 cubic yarder? Has low sides, but with 21 ft length you could probibly get 24. Looks like an old trailer body with those straight sides. What kind of hoist?
neighborstree

no idea who buolt the body, it hold about 20 yards. maybe more. im going to build the sides up 2 more feet and take off the tacky wood. twin piston hoist
