Been reading up on the forum and have found a wealth of knowledge here! So I figure I would ask you guys professional opinion on the subject at hand. I have looked at 4 well running, in my price range trucks. 3 of which were the m35a2 and one M915a1. The M35's all ran great and would make a great shortwood log truck with the length of the frames. However looking at the m915 with the jake brakes and seemingly smoother ride compared the the m35's I drove, it got me to wondering. Anyone want to throw some pros v. Cons out between the two? Common weight I might would carry would be around the 12ton range. The m915 has a 5th wheel so I could get a log trailer and use it for multi purpose so that is one pro but not necessarily what I was looking to do. Was mostly looking for a shortwood truck in the beginning and mounting my already made 16' log bed onto the frame of a truck. I am also considering adding a knuckleboom loader to either truck to use in the woods so what are your thoughts on this as well?
