I really need it, I could put my truck on it and leave it there. Seems like the only way it is going to be rolling anytime soon... Too bad it is so far away from me.

Looky there, Bob has already changed the color.
When you think about it, it wouldn't take up any extra room as either the panel or the F2 would fit right on top with room to spare.

Its a business expense Bob. You need that to haul those panels around.

Hmmmm... that would be really cool... hmmm... Now back to reality... trying to convince Bob to buy it...

OK, Bob here's the plan:

Sell me the F4. Your wife will be happy for a short time as she'll think your actually thinning the herd a bit (dairy farm reference). After that transaction is complete buy the yellow (soon to be red) toy chaser truck. After your wife's mood does a 180 let her know that you've bought the toy chaser truck to help out around the farm by hauling cow and chicken #$%* with it.

Hope this helps!

You guys are strongly mistaken of my situation, I don't really care what my wife thinks about my rusty/old iron addiction. We've been married long enough that she knows I will drag stuff home and there isn't much she can do about it. I've also come to the conclusion after all these years I don't really care what she thinks, the crap I have to put up with on almost a daily basis with either her parents or our spoiled oldest son, none of care what I think about anything even if it ends up costing me a great deal of time and money as long as it's farm related.

The only thing holding me back from traveling the mere 100 miles to pick it up is the limited financial funds I possess. In other words, I'm broke. I'm of limited funds, at times I can't make change for a penny.

Now, now Bob

A true old truck fanatic doesn't let a little thing like money (or lack thereof) stand in the way of dragging home a beautiful yellow (soon to be red) beast.

Just think of it. You'll be making so much money in so little time that having to eat ring baloney for X-mas dinner will soon seem like a distant memory

There's baloney in this thread but it's got nothing to do with my Christmas dinner.

Speaking of balogna....

It seems to me that the color red you've chose for your new truck is about the same color red used on the bologna ring....LOL

It fate Bob, its meant to be

The way I see it, Bob changing the color is like people placing their furniture when they fall in love with a new house. It's only a matter of time....

THANK YOU. So what is the dang price? I still can't see it on my phone. Bob cut and pasted that picture and didn't give the link, like one of us FTE tightwads were gonna buy it. Lol.

Why do people not put a price? That bugs the tar out of me. Maybe all of us should request more info and price.

It's a cool truck. Maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket....

OK, you guys stop now!! I told my wife about your smart**s suggestions for using the truck to haul farm equipment and excrement and now she's starting to think about it. I told you guys as long as it's farm related the sky's the limit no matter if it'll cost more than we can afford. No matter if we'd ever get our money's worth out of it. Believe me, in the last three years I've seen my share of financial stupidity when it comes to farming!!
