local mv club member bought these connex's and needed them moved to his property.

we set them next to each other such that he is going to build a roof between them and make a dry storage area for his farm tractor.

Seeing that stuff in action is too cool. Wow that 816 had just enough height to pick it up. Yamahama, the angle of the lift chain is obtuse.

How much do those weigh empty? (couldn't see the text in the photo)

Thanks for the pictures.

Great pics, you have a couple heavy hauling monsters there!

Those huge tires make that tractor look SO much meaner!

Just reminds me of how boring my life is.

It also reminds me of the kinds of things kids (mostly boys) dream about. A least when I was a youngster! Think about it. Is this not what went through our minds when playing with Tonka trucks? If only you could have just switched it to where the trucks were giants, and you were miniture!!!

If I'm sounding nutty, just take a good close look at those pics. Paradise!

I just hope that kids of today still appreciate these kinds of things. Maybe they don't, I don't know. But we need them to be!

I'm going to be 45 this summer. I still want those big-truck toys! What a great hobby!!

Thanks for the picks!
