72HD and F550

[Brando CalPankian]

Things are in place and we are getting a lift. I wish they still made the 83hd, but we're going with the 72hd. Anyone whose running spiders off the back of trucks, will the 72 work off the back of an f550?

I believe so

I believe so

So I just went down and checked on the truck I was debating buying. The height set up is about 44" to the bottom of the tracks. After talking to the sales rep, they normally see really narrow flatbeds (like yours) where they're about frame width. Now that I know this it's cheaper to buy a cab and chassis and build the bed on it.

Picking up the lift late this week/early next week in the dump trailer.

Congratulations I’ve heard nothing but great things about the 72

I trailer my 72hd and I can drive the trailer out from under it easily enough.

I'm stoked. Easier to train operators than climbers.

Good to know. It'll be a cluster cluck of a mess juggling trucks and trailers until I get a setup. Good problems to have.

Growing pains.
