    I'd show him 13 cash. That thing would be at my place for that price.

    the height of the bed and no dump would make Me want to pass for a firewood rig. It would be fun off road tho! Throw a dozen of you buddies and a cooler in the back

    I’ve seen several duece & half’s with bale beds on them for feeding cattle in western KS. I would use one, just would have to add a dump to it. They have a PTO off the transmission so adding hydraulics would be straightforward. I would just take the splitter with me and load with an elevator.

    but, like you, I don’t have time for another project.

    I agree with the above statement. Bed height would make me pass on it.

    I think it depends on your intentions. If your going to load it with a machine, the bed height doesn't really matter. We used to use 6 wheel dump trucks, 10 wheelers, and tri-axles for cordwood all the time.

    Yeah, so we've rented one of these (the extended family) 3 times over the past few years. That and hauling tractors and box blind builds around to hunting leases would be easier. 20200312_180536.jpg 20200315_091817.jpg 201159-3cd5a7cd3d25e9db920deff7383e601f.jpg 201169-c3a727a16408b4adf7aa48247e82502c.jpg 201170-e04eef15613deb65f0fe9f33a59b9b49.jpg 201173-6f98b9b4c58293564af2d015a0b35049.jpg

    For sure you'd want a machine for loading because of height.
