That is a really nice setup !!!
I've had my feelers out for several years for one of those here locally,but i guess the guy will just let it rot instead of selling it. Any idea what that truck weigh's ? I drove my 1008 with 37's over the hyway scales yesterday and it was 6,380 lbs.

thats a very nice truck, this is one of my service trucks. a 08 F550 4wd. I love the M1031 but cant find them, I would love to have one for my back woods farm accounts, my 550 weighing just a hair over 18k likes to sink. Great pics, and best of luck to you

Thats what I call a utility vehicle!!!Im in the process of building up my contact maintenance truck and hope to get it loaded like that some day. I will be useing it as a recovery vehicle,tool and parts carrier,and possibly a tow vehicle some day when I turbo it up. Im building it to support my other mud-boggin truck.

Thanks!! this truck is so handy!! and we are NOT going to drive it on the salty roads here in NY!! lol we put it away in the barn!!

Love the ideas, those are exactly the thoughts I was having for my recently acquired M1031!!!

 

[b4thundr]

oh I did take one more this was at the end of the corn season....this day the combine WOULD not start!!! it was 7 deg out and the old girl ran the batts dead. So I got the 1031 and fired up the gen, hooked up the batt charger pluged in the engine block heater and waited in the nice warm cab...some time later vavoom the combine was up and running!!! so easy with the right equipment!!! lol !! I also added some mud flaps in the back you can kinda see them in the pic. I will post more later!!
