There are 21 seven hundred pound calves in the trailer when the pic was taken , doesn't sag too bad. Mine doesn't get the luxury of waiting 1,000 miles.
desert rain, that skidsteen is one of my next purchases

That long bed is just gorgeous. Short beds look funny and wrong after looking at this beauty.

239. Love it. It's is getting hard to find 7500lb machines it seems. I really liked the TL130 and TL220 I used previously. Only complaint is the dang fuel consumption, seems to use twice as much as last one. I have read a lot of new machines get this complaint. I opted for the wider tracks which I really like for my area.

Love the long bed pics, are those 20" wheels? I was planning to get a short bed but out of the blue a long bed White Platinum Metallic with every option I wanted appeared so I pounced on it hoping I could get used to the long bed.

I didn't have the time to wait to put 1k on either. I think it had a couple hundred miles on it. Started off only pulling about 5k and took it easy. 1500 miles on it now, pulling 10k+. Highly doubt anything was hurt.

If you use the truck to haul you will find it much easier to get used to a long bed than going from a long bed to a short bed. Seems like nothing fits in the SB after a LB.
