long story still long...ain't going today! Old unit 10 is one wheel drive and there is just too much ice getting out of my yard and through the hood to the main road and it ain't much better sooooo I've put off picking it up. I talked Sandy in getting one also since she has a 94-F250 just sitting there with very low miles.She was still going today to get hers but last night,something happened to the hyd. clutch on the truck.Either the master blew out or the slave went and that means pulling the tranny/transfercase to change it out.I hope it's something simple. Why in the hell did the Huns design one zf with internal and the other external I don't know.
I ran up there last weekend and looked over what they had.Liked their operation and products.Price was pretty comparable with other manufactors but they are a N.C. based business and I like buying N.C. when I can. Also,the salesman/buying experience has been top notch.As much volume as they see coming in and out on a sat. morning, they still treated me as more a buyer than a shopper just getting a price and never being seen again.
Sale right now...16 foot one price but for 100 dollars more,18 foot can be had...metal deck 200 more than wood and 100 pounds heavier. So I got the standard 18 foot 7,000 gvwr(why? because I don't need more than that) with metal deck. I've been hauling Nelly on a 1970s home built trailer I pulled out of the woods and rebuilt. It is JUST the right size for Nellie but anything else is just too much. I've been pulling this trailer for roughly 8 years now and it needs more work to be better IE brakes,fenders,break away box,new wood so I decided to buy a new one. Virginia is very anal about what is pulled on their hog paths and I've been wanting to take Nellie up to do battlefield touring also. It's a move that was needed to be made.
