jackb61sx Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 We are heading back out on to the golf course to do more tree removals and some drainage work. My prediction will be the golfers back out to play mid-March,,,,,of course when I am on vacation. Any other winter we are snow covered and working on equipment and plowing snow!! Picture of last winter and this winter. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43744-no-snow-so-pushing-mulch/#findComment-322017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC68 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 If this we don't get snow there sure will be a lot of equipment for sale in the spring ! I'm always in the hunt for barely used equipment , looking for a low hour mini excavator and skid steer . 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43744-no-snow-so-pushing-mulch/#findComment-322063 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always in the hunt for barely used equipment , looking for a low hour mini excavator and skid steer .Do you plow with any of your trucks/equipment?

PC68 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 I mostly plow with my F-350 pickups and F-550 dumps . We use Cat loaders , skid steers and backhoes for removal . We use our Macks for snow removal only , no plowing. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43744-no-snow-so-pushing-mulch/#findComment-322136 Share on other sites More sharing options...

After doing a lot of work and some painting on my 2000 F450 i don't even want to take it out of the barn in the winter 1 Quote BryanMy Photo Albums Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43744-no-snow-so-pushing-mulch/#findComment-322211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC68 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 I don't blame you , I just picked up a 2016 F550 for a utility truck and it's not coming out until the spring . Last of the steel body's I don't know how the new aluminum cab & chassis are going to work out ! 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43744-no-snow-so-pushing-mulch/#findComment-322258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Horse Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I don't blame you , I just picked up a 2016 F550 for a utility truck and it's not coming out until the spring . Last of the steel body's I don't know how the new aluminum cab & chassis are going to work out !image.jpegAluminum CABS- chassis will be steel as always. And if you look at the 150's and their sales rate looks like that is working. I do believe the 2017's (Super Duty) will be using same cab structure as 150 as in old days-no more separate cabs for 150 and another cab for 250 on up. As interior dimensions are virtually the same, this makes sense. Now the other interesting news is they announced this week 350-550 chassis cab production is moving from Louisville to Avon Lake Ohio where the new 650/750's and last of the E series cut- aways are built. this leads some to believe that in the not to distant future there will be a complete new cab for 350-750. Keep in mind the new 650/750's at this point still use the steel Super Duty Cab structure.In any case, that 550 is a beauty. Will look good in a fleet pix beside your Macks! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43744-no-snow-so-pushing-mulch/#findComment-322303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
