  1. I agree. Honestly when I seen it was a triple axle and no deadman insight I didn't think I had a fighting chance.
  2. Thats a slick idea. Probably helps with traction on concrete as well.
  3. Was told they had a road tractor stuck. Ended up a little more than I bargained for. I got it out none the less but definitely was outmatched. Thankful for wrecker school and learning a few tricks along the way. Tough to beat experience.
  4. I am going to order a new carrier. I have a 10 series and 2 12 series. I think that if we add a 16 series it will make us a little more versatile. Trying to decide the bed length. We don't really run into and length problems. Was debating 22 foot ot 24 foot. I think that would allow us to haul trucks with plows and not have to separate them. Other then that I can think of any reason for a longer bed than 24 foot. What are you guys finding the most versatile length? Thanks for your opinion.

  6. We are sure trying. Still learning what forks to get. Ordered the medium set from Irish Iron and have the standard miller set along with the spring shackles, the miller square riser receiver, u bolt cups and a 4.5 low set that miller use for carrier feet lynch called them carrier forks. I was debating buying the chain forks but thought that the miller riser forks would do the same thing. This is relatively new to me. I was spoiled and ran heavies that had everything you could get previously to me.
  7. Not to sure about L arm storage on them.
  8. Look like they are fly by wire and plastic controls on the back. An autoloader that could handle 7k lift would be very cool.
  9. Thats what they should have taken to the show. Side puller is nice but I couldn't get by with that little of storage on my.
  10. The tunnel boxes is what looks goofy. I think if it had your typical square tunnel box with one door would have been nice. And that may be an option on it. They may have just sent it to the show with what boxes thay had. I do like how the boom doesn't go into the tunnel box like on my 2465. You lose a little space.
  11. I'm not overly impressed by that. Its sorta goofy looking.
  12. I really wanted see what Jerrdan was going to bring to the table with the MPL60 but with little to no information and no tentative dates I had to got with another 2465.
  13. I wonder if the superduty forks will fit the ram 4500s and 5500s front axles. I think the Rams use splicer front end and ford uses a dana. I am not sure the diameter sizes. I picked up a 5500 ram yesterday with my new International MV and century 2465. I don't have a much variety in the form of forks yet so I went ahead and just used vulcan scoops that came with it. I know that's the max I would want to pick up with them. However the truck picked it up and handled it like a fwd car. I was extremely impressed. Nothing like I was use to towing them with my past Ram 5500s.
  14. We went with the Mv. We got ours about 3 weeks ago. My MV wrecker will be here Thursday. We really like the one we have thus far.
