Here are some pics of my 817's at work. They are hauling spoils excavated from footings at a very large industrial building site. After 1 week with 1 truck they wanted to have 2 trucks. Lucky for me Cornrichard was selling his 817. I drove that one 310 miles home and it worked 10 hours the next day. It should take about 4 weeks to get all the footings dug.

I found a nice looking m52a2, 5-ton tractor with the multifuel engine and it is a decent price, but I can't justify buying it unless I can find a way to make money from it. Any ideas?

So far, my ideas are...
1. recovering other people's stuff from GL (MI just doesn't have that much stuff that needs moved around)
2. off road recoveries (how do you get hooked up with people to do that?)
3. hire out to farmers during harvest???
