Those trucks are pretty plain for him but still worth less than the average rig rocket towing a full 4 place to Valemount LOL

And never been sledding before let alone to the mountains

Each of those rigs must be pushing $450k?
Nah. What's a W900 tri drive these days, $220-260k? And pole trailers are cheap, if they were hauling quads or super B's he'd have a lot more money into them.

A million bucks is still a million bucks...lol

My uncle use to say if your going to borrow money get a million because then the bank is stretched and won't let you fail. He also use to say the definition of a true millionaire isn't having a million in the bank its owing a million when you die because only then did you beat the bank. He also said as long as there are cheques in the book your never broke.

Hahaha, old quotes from uncle Tom

Last time I priced a quad was 6 or 7 years ago and they were $150k then and about 6 month wait list.
If you iron is paid for that just means more dollars in your pocket instead of the bankers. An 01 hayrack though I imagine you're getting good at welding eh

was that with truck rigging and electric scales? Just a Freflyt quad $110,000 out the door. If you add in truck rigging, cabguard, 2 sets of truck bunks, tail frame work, electric scales then I can see $150,000

Salesman must have seen SWAT coming, $87,000 with 9'6 Exte bunks this spring, maybe more if he quoted with expando's.

Yeah was getting the cost of switching a tri-drive from a long logger to quad setup as we were offering a cash bonus to help our Union trucking fleet change over.
