Hey Bruce it was NOT a M747. It was a commercial 70 ton 4 axle lowboy with a 2 axle jeep and a 2 axle (not sure the name) for the back of the trailer. I bet they were not buying the M911 but were buying the trailer. But thats just my thoughts for what little they are worth.



edit: where did the post befor me go?????????????

Jason, I noticed that AFTER...and hence I deleted my post. My post was irrelevant once I realized the trailer was not what I thought it was. Thanks for the clarification!

You could make some good money with that thing. There is a company somewhere near VA that has two M911s they contract out to move masssive objects. Last year the power company needed to move a few building sized transformers a few miles so they called these guys.

They flat towed one M911 behind the other and drove up from down state. Did the pull, and went home a few hours later with a 5 digit check in their pocket.

My neighbor works for Dominion and has pictures, I'll get him to send them to me so I can post them.

I have a couple of photos from the auction.

How do the 911 compare to the 920?

You must have deleted it as I was typing. I hit the submit button and then your post was gone, I thought I was lossing my mind. And hey I aint got much to loss

The M911 is more for off road use it tops out at around 45mph. The M920 is more of a road truck.

The M920 is a lot easier to manuver.....I bobtailed a M911 around a motor pool (it was one of the few vehicles I was not licensed on in the Army).

It has the turning radius of an aircraft carrier.

With a full load on the fuel milage is measure in gallons per mile.

Does anyone have $49K I can borrow? I seem to have gotten a little caught in the moment and just went for it.

Sorry I was remembering another thread, long gone now, and just had to post that.

Nice truck though for whomever won it. And that is going to be one **** of a credit card balance.

I would bet, the company that bought it didn't even thing twice about it. And neither did the others who helped bid it up that high. When I saw it, I was wondering how high it was going to go. Actually surprised it went so cheap.

Funny but the dates don't match the thread. Most entries are from January and the date on the auction is end of February.

That is cause it got re-auctioned. Same truck and trailer, same pics used.

 

[Clay James]

Looks like it went for a lot more too.

The prices mentioned is a heck of a deal for that outfit. That trailer alone will go for over $100k new. If you needed a heavy hauling outfit that would be way cheaper than buying a commercial outfit.
