  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”.

  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.
