Need advice on a truck to move logs and......

[metalspinner]

The fella I hire to move the occasional log I can't handle has a Ford with a boom and the roll back bed (same truck).  He used the roll back for a 50" by 16' Red oak with no problem.  A few weeks later, he used the boom with a winch to pull and lift many logs onto the deck with out any damage to a well manicured lawn.  It is a very versital set-up.  I wish he didn't charge so much!

Thanks to all for the reply's....I haven't forgotten and/or gotten gettin' a truck yet...

Still have offers in on both of the original trucks that I was looking at...just won't nobody take time what with the holidays and all to stop and partake of a good horsetradin' :D :D

Went to Tennessee to pick up the grandsons Saturday for the holidays....stopped and talked to a feller with lots of trucks parked around his place.

Seems he is in the process of puttin a "Big Thumb" loader with a 20 ton winch on a rollback bed....just hasn't decided which truck he is gonna mount it on....gonna stop back by when I take the boys home after new years and get serious with him...this could be just the outfit that I have been lookin for 8) 8)
