What is that clapped out heap worth ? Starts, moves, sloppy like something you take home after closing time. 🤣 can you still get parts for them ?? Its an OLDER Rottne Rapid.

Oh wow it's back there isn't it! Snowstorm knows about those. I think you can still get anything for a Rottne.

Supposedly they "extended" it, I think it was broken in half looking at the plating, has a hitch and extra steel in the back, lacked 3" to set it in the well, put it on the tail and I was still below legal height.

I know there is at least one in this area. I have no idea who has it. Just driving around I see it.

How long is the well on that lowboy?
Did a little digging and the brochure for that old girl say 144" from the center joint to the rear of the machine.

you loaded it backwards. fits better pointed the other way. iveco or ford motor? dosent look new enough to have a deere. parts should not be a problem. except if you need a air compressor for it. is that great big frame bearing ok? no broken bolts? i see it has the goofy crane. why did they think that was a good idea. overall tuff as nails

The tilting bases are nicer on steeper ground when thinning less chances of barking something.

Thinking of selling? I might make a call if you are. Small chance, but....

BTW, I recognize that parking spot in downtown Conesville (or is it uptown? I keep getting those 2 confused, they are so close together. ;D) I expect to be in that lot in about a week for a fine breakfast.
