Yeah, we need pictures.:) Truck sounds nice, it seems to me that stuff to sell has to be cheap unfortunately to move quick.

its pretty clean.... i aint gonna sell it cheap just to get rid of it, its a good truck but im just trying to run lean and mean and really dont have a use for it.. i seen some in worse shape for 45k idk what they actually sold for though.. is 35k out of reach?

If that would include a box with it, don't think that is unreasonable. Never looked at them to much but know the hooks are spendy(and boxes). I would like to have one but to many other 'needs'.:)

[PROCUT1]

I will add that ive seen that truck up close as well as joes other equipment and its all very nice and very well maintained.

i dont think you could go wrong buying this truck.

[Gravel Rat]

I would say 30 grand but then again you really can't say without looking at pictures. Truck prices right now are pretty low trucks are not worth much. A single axle hooklift will be a hard sell.

Not sure if I would want to buy a tandem axle hooklift I would rather have a conventional hoist. If you are worried about dump angle etc you can go with a retractable tail hoist.

The cost of a 60-65,000lb hooklift system would make a person :dizzy:

well our hydroseeder and a flatbed are all set up for hooks, plus i have an extra container i'd keep thats got a hook, so i kinda wanted to stay in the hooklift family... we dont do much dumping so it doesn't bother me, truck has our hydroseeder, flatbed and containers we use for planting...

[AintNoFun]

heres a pic i had in my camera phone with our smaller hydroseeder on it... our new seeder is just to big for the truck which is why im upgrading... hold the pinks comments, lol.. there aint nothing you can say that i aint heard so save it....*trucewhiteflag*

[RockSet N' Grade]

Actually I have a pink comment......Pink and Black was a color scheme I was seriously considering for my next truck. I see a tremendous amount of marketing value in that....especially with clean rigs like you have. I think that who ever decided to go with those colors made a smart business choice.........carry on!

[DUSTYCEDAR]

OMG ron your sister?
the color may slow down the sale
shoot high u can always come down:)

well thanks, someone understands it!! we are know all over more so in our industry... you can't pay for that type of marketing.. whether you like it or hate it you will talk about it... also i have no problem painting the truck before i get rid of it, i would almost prefer it.. a few other trucks ive sold in the past, the guys said they would paint it and hated the pink.. dont ya know most of them have called me looking for the paint codes, lol....

and were not getting pulled over, were on a job and the cops doing traffic for us.. figure id save someone some time. haha..

[bobcat_ron]

Holy crap, that is a damn fine looking Pete, pink or no pink!

[AintNoFun]

Holy crap, that is a damn fine looking Pete, pink or no pink!

thank you, the wheels and stuff are dirty right now cuz of all the road salt and what not, but she looks a lot better sparkling....


so what do you guys think is a good asking price?

[jg244888]

is your whole fleet like that cuz thats just plain sweeeeet

[RockSet N' Grade]

I just looked at used trucks in our area.........a similar rig with box(s) was asking $60,000 some time ago.......it is still for sale, and now the guy has dropped his price down to $45,000 with several boxes to go along with it.........and it is still for sale.....

I wouldn't beat on you for picking the color. I don't think that is out of line what you are asking but I would want it black.:)

yea id be very happy at 35k, i just put like 2 grand into it within the past few months.. thanks for the input...

[jg244888]

could we see a group shot? whats that paint code?

[Gravel Rat]

That truck would be worth the 35,000 the color thou would make people think twice maybe not where Ron lives :laugh:

If you go with a tandem hooklift it will have to have a slider hoist to make your shorter bodies work. I have to agree that hydro seeder is really heavy on a single axle.

Here is a PDF file on a slider hoist

ill gladly dig you out some group/work pics.. i can dig the color code up as well, just make sure you far away from me, lol...

yea thats our old smaller seeder as well, sounds good ill check it out, thanks... there is a nice conventional roll off i found i might have to check out as well...

[ksss]

I was reading some of the posts prior to seeing the color. When I read pink I wasn't expecting much. However, I have to say that particular color looks good. I can see why others would want to see the color code. Takes balls to paint all your stuff pink. Obviously it works for you. What did the Po, Po have issue with in your photo?

I agree...

Kaiser, I was assuming the cops were there directing traffic or something of that sort because it looks like he is working off of a road...

[Gravel Rat]

Cops were probably sitting there for traffic control a good time to eat a box of donuts and half gallon of coffee :laugh:

[CAT powered]

They just wanted to meet a gay trucker. :laugh::laugh:

Just kidding.

That's definitely a unique color. It definitely grabs your attention. Kind of like a car wreck. You want to look away, but you just can't.

is that a t-90 hydro seeder? do you still have it? how long of bodies can fit on the truck? what is the gvw? with a 15yrd box on it how much can the truck haul? (lbs or tons)

Look out I think we have one the hook!

[P.Services]

i have always wanted a pete, and i want a hook. the miles are much higher then what i want though.

air brakes? plumbed to rear with a hitch?

it was a t120 we now have a 2000 gallon bowie.. also have an older reinco for straw mulching/tack.. the gvw on the door is 26k, the guy had it derated so it was under cdl, but i beleive it was 33 or 36k original spec... never had stone/soil in the boxes.. we only had trees and mulch in them, so i can't give you any specifics on the weight..

the mileage is a lil high but not that high, these truck has allllot more life in it..if u were to see the rest of my fleet and the way i maintain everything i bet you this truck is in better shape then most trucks with 100k miles on them.. when i get the smoke test done it actually runs cleaner then new petes right off the showroom.. i also get the oil tested about 2 to 3 times a year and the results are always good.. its got no hitch but the back bumper is pretty big im sure you could put a pintle on it w/ no problem.. it does have air brakes and the fronts were done in the beginning of the fall..

[ksss]

250K is nothing for miles.

[P.Services]

so the t-120 is allready sold and gone? how long of a box do you put on it?

[AintNoFun]

so the t-120 is allready sold and gone? how long of a box do you put on it?

i think the box is like 12/13' foot long.. i also have a 14 or 15' flat bed but im keeping that, i also had an icc bumper put on so you dont have any problems with the dot with the longer bodies... the t120 was gone last year..


250K is nothing for miles.

i agree but some people kinda dont know how long a big diesel can last...

[Gravel Rat]

That kind of mileage isn't too bad on a C series Cummins if it was a B it would be a different story. Do a service on the Allison and your good to go.

my mechanic told me how much those trannies cost and I NEVERRRR want to replace one so she gets serviced more than she should!

GR you are missing that one. I have had two L-10's. One with 575K the other 880K both on dump trucks. The 880K was a dump truck from the day it rolled off the line in 84. They never miss a beat. 250K is hardly high miles for anyones HD diesel, but especially a Cummins.

i hope im not setting my self up here, but i got 3 - 8.3's and they have treated me very well..

[Gravel Rat]

There is a big difference between the 8.3 and L-10. The L-10 is the start of the truck engines the 8.3 is classed as a medium duty. The L-10 is derived from the old 250-290 Cummins they are a small block engine. The L-10 will go the mileage but they are prone to having head problems but that is from excessive use on with a JAKE.

The 8.3 does have cam shaft troubles I know a few people that had some problems with them.

I would rather have a L-10/M11 in a medium duty over a 8.3. Cummins makes the ISL now but you don't see many in the newer medium duty trucks only the ISC.

If you have heavy loads to haul your better off with a tandem axle anyhow it doesn't cost you much more to operate. A single axle truck with a 33-35,000lb gvw your at max capacity what a 2 axle truck can handle.

As for the big Allisons yes they cost allot of money to rebuild I was told a few years ago the older ones in single axle trucks were 15 grand.

If I was going to go with a automatic it would be a Eaton autoselect but I prefer a 13 or 18 spd I like to have the control. Any truck drivers I know really don't like the automatics especially in the hills like we have here.

Hope you get what you want out of it. I would love it but need a big truck first.:cry: 250,000 miles is nothing on a big truck, would not be afraid of it.
