thomastractorsvc Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I seen this listed for awhile so it might be high priced, but I was impressed at how nice it is and how well it has been taken care of. Has anyone seen it out working?https://newyork.craigslist.org/que/cto/5407227707.html 2 Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

HeavyGunner Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Very clean looking unit for sure Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

ranchhopper Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Looks like it has a set of trailer tires on the steer axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfothergill Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I called on it back in November, they are asking 35k for the tractor and 25 or 30 for the trailer. Low mileage tractor, heavy tare weight around 22,500 if I remember correctly. They also have another tractor same specs and I believe same year with like 12-20 k miles that pulled their lowbed.

Underdog Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Looks like it has a set of trailer tires on the steer axle.For city operations slow speed and jobsites probably be OK. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Remmers Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Looks like it has a set of trailer tires on the steer axle.Tube type all around, not many options available for steer tires.Its sad but the truck is too heavy to put it to work, and likely too slow to drive to shows.58 rears make it a dinosaur. If they're 4.64's you'd be lucky to squeeze 65 out of it with the 2 stick 6. Now an air shift t2060 is a different story, need 5.73's to slow them down.

41chevy Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Working in the 5 Boroughs probably never saw close to that speed.

Maybe 50 going over the OBC to Staten Island yup. life is different in new yawk. while the car drivers see it as a rat race, city construction drivers go slow because they are paid by the hour, and are mostly all union drivers. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Plus, I HATE working slow. Keep it moving and get the job done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
