Looking for some advice on purchasing a 2001 Mack RD690S For a silage/grain truck it would be equipped with a 22 foot dump box This truck is an old cement truck They want 18500$ some questions I have are how tight do these trucks turn? (getting in and out of fields and tight farm yards) Does it still have life after being a cement truck for 13-14 years? How are these trucks in general? Is the Mack E7 engine any good? I have the specs for the truck typed below Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated Thank you

Would be good in the fields with wide tires. Will help keep the front afloat in soft soil. Many farmers around here run dm690's with Silage bodies. Good rugged truck.

We the unwilling, Lead by the unqualified, are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful.
