Had a dream about a truckmount last night.

Must be because of the recent TM discussions going on here.
I look forward to hearing your exploits. I know what is coming for you. I've owned several different brands and sizes of machines. Did all the maintenance, modifications and most installs myself.
Funny that two of you have Hydracats. I used one of those years ago. The first machine I bought new was a Hydramaster 4.2 Crossfire. I remember trying to buy a Profire 4.7. Hydramaster stopped making them and the last one had been sold before I got my deposit in.
Those old machines are relatively simple and easy to work on. Good starter machine.
