I'm just getting so many big trees. I've carved a niche in the nasty tree market and I could use a little more chart for a lot of what i'm getting now. Just trying to enhance the services people call me for. The current truck will go for sale. I have one last item I want to take care of before i'm ready to sell it. It likes to jump put of gear in 17 and 15 as I decelerate. I want to make sure the next owner gets what I would want to get if I was spending that kind of money. After the transmission this sumbitch is like brand new under the hood, frame, everywhere in-between. I've been bouncing numbers and running scenarios for quite a while now. The last piece of the puzzle was customer feedback on a rate increase along with a service increase. I'm not ready to share the deets but it's gonna be so functionally set up. Everything I learned on the current truck allows me to set the next one up exactly as I want it laid out. 100% custom from the paint color on the truck to the tool boxes and some other palfinger exclusive bells and whistles that will be a game changer for my customers.

The week was good! It allowed me to not have to finance the downpayment I needed to order the cab and chassis!

It’s getting real.

Looking good! I like the color there. Is the front-most lift axle a steerable?

 

[cory]

Steve, it's awesome you are able to build this truck crammed full of all you've learned with the first truck, very exciting!

The #2 is the twin steer axle stowed there from the factory for transport to Canada. KW doesn't do their own twin steer installs. Its up there now getting it installed then to MD for the build. Thanks about the color. Its a high metallic flake paint. Same color as my Ram 2500

Thank you. Yes everything I didn't like or found that could improve efficency is being added to this build. Its gonna be a work horse. The only thing I was torn about was making the boom the same color as the cab. I decided not to so it wouldn't get lost in the canopy. I get a lot of work from people driving by so I figured I should sat with the Palfinger Red.

Thank you for the clarification. It looked like a twin steer axle, but the placement did not make much sense. I’m surprised KW doesn’t install the second steer, but I guess it’s probably because there are so few trucks built that way.
