Just wow! Nick... You impress the hell out of me young man!

 

[cory]

Impressive for any age at all

Nick, if I recall many moons ago, you posted that you were hoping to build a tree service that would tend to run itself without out your constant on the job presence, how's that coming along?

 

[cory]

Btw, is that an auto or manual tranny? Will it be front or rear mount?

 

[FJR]

Very nice Nick. Is it a brand new T800?

Cory, there is no way it is anything but a rear mount.

 

[cory]

How can you tell?

 

[sotc]

Cause it's Nick, nothing else will do!

 

[cory]

Looks brand new to me, what with the DEF tank, and pristine looking rear wheel assembly and plastic covering on cab step.

Thanks Guys! Its been a big debate between going new and used. I thought that the value of having a warranty overweighed the savings of purchasing a used truck. This is my first new vehicle and has been a journey finding the right truck and getting it outfitted with everything that I want.

The truck is a 2015 Kenworth T-800 Extended cab. It has a 525 HP Cummins with an 18speed manual trans, 20K fronts, 50K chalmers rear suspension with a Hendrickson 20k rear tag axle. It has Alcoas Aluminum rimes with Dura-Brights, dual air cleaners, dual exhaust, power windows, power mirrors, AM/FM/CD/Bluetooth. Its going to get a Prentice 2124 Rear mounted loader with a Hydra-Headboard and a Rotobec Debris grapple. I am going to put a 75-80 box on it.

This will be my first year not working in the field full time. I am going to only work a day or two in the field with the guys. I hired a part time book keeper that will be working a day or two a week with me in the office, which will be a huge help! I am also very glad that this is my last semester of school!
