It looks expensive. To own and maintain. Much more so than a deuce.

Jeff, is that the Holmes version of the FWTD? Bruce Kubu had a very nice one on one of his 900 tractors.

RE: fifth wheel wrecker

I was able to buy it for a reasonable price at a surplus auction because no one blabbed it all over the place.... :p
Kenny, I'm not sure who made it. It looks different than the ones pictured in PS mag for the M915s. Winslow still has the one from Bruce but I have not seen it to compare. It's pretty cool, now I just gotta figure out how it works. Anyone ever seen any manual on these?

They are briefly touched on in the 90 version of FM 20-22. I've searched in the past for TMs on them but failed to find any, I'll dig a bit more.
