Nice looking rig, i preferred the loader on the back of the truck, more loading ability, and rode better when empty.

loaders on the back are nice if you are pulling a pup trailer but they limit you on length too much on the truck

There are no problems; only solutions we haven't found yet.

Not many rear mount ones in this area. When I do see one,it catches my eye. Just looks different. Very few pup trailers too. Use to see them about 30 years ago.

And some of us ol' hardheads would cut the wood 18" too long just to pi$$ the truck driver off :D...after they didn't show up for 2 days smiley_devil

Don't know of a single front mount loader truck around here. Everything is a rear mount with a pup trailer. Then again they are all "Michigan doubles" with 11 axles grossing 164k lbs.

Have two guys that haul for me with "small trucks" and they are still 4 axle trucks with 2 axle pups legal at like 104k lbs. They are my go-to guys if I need to move wood into Wisconsin.

Dumb question... what are the little wheels on the back for?  BTW, very nice rig.

I believe they drop those smaller wheels down when loaded to add another axle bearing the weight. Required on some roads with weight limits.
Or they are for doing wheelys :)
