What a nice RD single axle. You don't see to many of them around.

Nice truck. Love the granite!

I'm looking for an 06 or newer automatic tri axle dump with 46k rears, steel body, pintle w/ air a plus.

I'd like to find an 06 or newer mack granite with Allison auto with 46 rears and a steel body. It seems like autos are scarce but I may have to be open to other brands but I'd rather not.

Well my truck sold Thursday 4 days after listing it. Now I need to start looking hard for a tri axle. If anyone knows of any automatic tri's in Jersey let me know.

That's good to hear. I can't find a reason not to look for an auto truck. The turning radius is one thing I will miss with the tandem but everyone always wants tri axles anymore. If I'm not using the truck for myself I want out to go to work for someone else instead of sitting.

Thanks for the info on the 08 to 11's. I wish I could buy a new truck. I just don't think I could justify the price tag of a new one. I still may stop at H&H to browse maybe they will be able to find something.

My biggest concern going with an automatic is towing with one and not having enough control. How are the automatics towing a tag trailer? Have to ever had a 160 sized machine behind yours?

Well I listed my Jersey spec'd Mack RD dump on Craigslist a few days ago. The reason im selling is to buy a tri axle. With all the praise I hear about Allison's I may try to find one with an automatic. Is there any years I should avoid?

I figured I would link the ad in case any Jersey guys were interested.

That truck looks good from the pictures. It looks like it has some rust between the double frame though.

Single axle R models are tough to find. There is one for sale in New Jersey that from the pictures looks in great shape. The only thing is the price seems high. Below is the link to it for comparison.

hey nj guys do you know of anyone looking to sell any granite 10 wheelers with light steel bodies and must be 58 rears let me know thanks

Not a Granite but I have a nice and clean 1999 RD with 270k miles and 58 rears I'm thinking about selling to get a tri-axle.

Was at Bristol Donald getting something this truck was sitting outside ready for pickup

That's a sweet rig! I hope that's my next truck.

I think these are the nicest tris around

I agree! That rig is sweet

Nice trucks. Look good in green with red frames!

Like others said 75,000 is way to much money for that truck. I'd say $40 to $45. It to might be area related but I would want at least 52k rears on a tandem. My current RD tandem has 58's.

Mack Granite Roll-off

JAM Trucking another local guy. He had 3 almost identical RD's when he was hauling fill to my jobsite.

Reel- Thats a nice looking truck with classic specs. Is that yours?

That's K&A's brother I think? They are down my way. I really like there green Granites they have.

I think he was trying to sell that truck a few months ago and if I remember right it had big power.

Truck came out really nice.

I like McMaster-Carr. They have one close enough to get to will call when I need something right away. Plus if the ship it I get it next day. I seem to find the prices a little better than Grainger too.

Great pics. I'm really disappointed I missed it!

I'm going to take mine to get lettered on the 25. I've been pushing my luck locally without it.

I saw the Blue tandem today going down Route 17 in Paramus.

Yeah very tough to find a free spot to dump dirt here let alone get some one to pay for it.

That is a nice single axle. I didn't know you could get that truck in a single axle. Maybe it's a glider? Do you know the specs?

RFC-Those trucks look good. I'm really liking the blue.

Reel- We need to see pics when you get your new truck!
