And behind that...

you're right about the trailer but I'd have to go with this truck:

I use a 91 nissan pickup for my small picks and a 88 f150 for my big pics and taking ferrous loads to the yard. I would like to get a trailer/car hauler but its not in the budget just yet. when i first got into scrappin i only had the nissan and would haul up to 1300lbs on it.(kinda sketchy though) at 30mpgs it was a great scouter but got tired of making two and three trips to the yard with stuff that only takes one with my ford.

Where can you buy 1 from?

How much is it?

How much does the crane lift?

IIRC when I came across it a year or 2 ago, I saw a list price of 30k. Not seeing a price any more.

Either my computer is messed up or their site isn't showing all the details. Under specs for grapple capacity it cuts off.

But I did find this page.

Honda powered self loading Grapple
• Over 17 feet of reach
• 2300 lb lifting capacity at mid boom 1300 plus fully extended

Sounds like decent lift cap. The grapple appears to be different on the 2nd link. I imagine whatever type you wanted, they would get it installed for you.

If you find out how much it is, please report back.

Can't go wrong with a Ram Cummins. I prefer a Cummins but like the looks of certain years of Fords.
