1701 brochure comparing the competitors "40" ton

[TowZone]

We found this while going thru some old books at the shop. We found it amusing and wanted to share it with all the holmes lovers out there. Wish i could have gotten the images in with the captions because you could clearly determine what competitor they were talking about.

That's pretty cool, never saw that before. I think if you look at a couple of the pictures it's pretty clear who's 40 ton they are comparing to. Thanks for posting.

The only thing the 1701 & 1801's lacked was reach. If they would have had the

reach I believe things may have turned out differently in the Wrecker world....

That makes me feel better about mine. After a three year restoration, I hope to see what it will do soon...

That's a really cool post. I have 1701 with a intergated under reach mounted on a triaxle vovlo and haven't found any that it cant do on its own yet.
