I love my wrecker!
Short synopsis:
bought a milling machine in OH
drove to OH, picked up milling machine
drove home
unloaded mill (2300 lbs) in less then 4 minutes with my M816
Best thing since sliced bread.

Nice looking wrecker and nice 1 1/2hp Bridgeport. Variable speed head, 42" table with an "X" axis power feed.
I don't own a M816, but I have moved a few Bridgeport milling machines, and know them quite well.
Good luck with the milling machine purchase and keep the pictures coming.

I guess this means it paid for itself.
"Honey, I have to move my milling machine, so I'm gonna have to buy a M816 Honey."
You get bonus points for buying a American made milling machine.
