I’m sure it’ll be a nice truck when all said and done. I’m intrigued to why Sutphen went to the extent of focusing on this portion of the market. I love tillers but the market is pretty limited.
Since Sebastian thinks Sutphen is the best, I’d like to hear his opinion with his “expertise”.

Perhaps some cross training on the thing would be in order so that…Oh wait that makes too much sense.

yes there are advantages but also if the dept all of sudden many of the ff retire get sick lay off and so on the ladder may not have enought people to man it 2 drivers

That’s interesting. For decades, they kept saying that the tractor drawn aerial was going to go the way of the square wheel and 8 track. Guess not and there are many advantages to such a design.
