What are you looking to pay? I MIGHT sell my 9.5 mild steel xv and get another xls...

I'm hoping to trade out the MC for one. I know the V is probably worth more. Is there like a blue book on these things?I should probably start doing my homework.
I want to convert the plow and the truck to that fleet flex thing, So I dont need to try and remove this frame. If it will fit.

Cool. Help away. I dont even know the relative MSRP's of these things.

The closest "fisher dealer" to me sells golf carts....... and has a HUGE markup. I believe he quoted me $450.00 for a fishstik for the mc.

X2... Thats where Ryan and I picked up our XLS's.. save yourself the installation costs as they are pretty much put together ... on a new setup you could get it done in less then a day (push plate would be the "hardest" part but a XLS or XV will match up to your exsisting plates) even if you've never put one on before...pretty straight forward

Yeah I thought about giving them a ring. Whats this MC worth? any ideas? or is that something I should discuss with them as well.

Ballpark around 2-2.5K with the wiring depending on its condition

unhcp · #**6330** 07-16-2012, 10:07 AM

I would probably buy it for that price

I got my Class A CDL last week. If I don't get a better job than I have now, I will most likely be plowing roads for my uncle in Belgrade. I'm hoping I get a job running equipment on the power line but, if I don't plowing roads will give me some good experience plowing roads. I'm also planning on picking up some more driveways this Winter.

I have been toying with the idea of buying a new truck. Mine has been taking forever to get back going after the wreck, kinda pissing me off. Been a very busy summer!

Dewey · #**6337** 07-27-2012, 07:01 AM

Still pretty busy sawing logs..... As far as I know I have the same amount of plowing as I have had in past years plus A new store in town with allot of hottop plowing.. ( something I'm not used to ) LOL I wish I coud put together the funds to replace My truck.... Oh Well

Mick76 · #**6338** 07-27-2012, 07:45 PM

Dewey, do you mill log siding as well. or just full logs? I've got a house going up and they want log siding with the corners etc.

I saw the Cedar into the rough and have a planer mill turn it into siding..Usually the corners are made out of full logs that they notch to fit the corners and match the sidingl.. At some point I want to get into planing siding ect.... This has been working out pretty good... i also do cedar decking and v-match too.
