    forklift

    I want to get a compact skid steer with bucket to grade and shovel my gravel parking area. But I also want to use it in narrow confines with a forklift mast on it to lift under 1000 lbs up to 12 feet. The mast would be operated off the auxillary hydraulics, attached to the skid steer arms but...

    Old Trucks

    Hey ror76a, You are in the type of situation I'll be looking for in about a year. I think you should make it known somehow that you have reliable old used trucks for sale. I've been looking through ebay and online truck trader and truck sales to get an idea of what is available and prices and...

    Semi tractor and gooseneck

    I need to pull a gooseneck cargo trailer, 14,000 lb GVW, in my business and private use. I wanted to get a straight truck with sleeper which would add about 2k to insurance but found I need the loading ramp on a gooseneck trailer. The Freightliner Sport Chassis or FL60 looks like the ideal truck...
