    Could I use a 5-ton for this?

    Alright well I guess I'm going back to the drawing board. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That would be tough. Probably not a good option.

    Bummer. Looking on Gov Planet sold units look to be around $7-$8k and those are running. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    With the tailgate down, that would be pretty much perfect. I think the biggest unknown is how to load and unload. That's really been my unknown from the start. Whether it's possible get a tractor pulled up on the bed or not.

    I was thinking ramps? But that's the main reason why I'm asking.

    Thought I ready that the bed on the 923 was 14ft? Overhanging a little shouldn't make a lot of difference.

    Could I use a 5-ton for this?

    Well everything I read says the power steering and auto tranny is well worth moving to the 5 ton. But you're missing the point. I don't want to buy a bigger trailer PLUS buy a 5-ton (or deuce for that matter). I can buy a bigger trailer and use the truck I already have. I don't need air...

    Could I use a 5-ton for this?

    Hey guys, I've been wanting a 5-ton for several years now and I can never get the wife on board. For the most part, it's just been a "for fun" toy to play with and maybe to drive in some local parades. But now I may have a situation where I could actually have a use for the truck. That is if...

    Generator Sizing for 550sqft Cabin?

    The seller is an older couple, late 60s probably, and they would probably want to be paid off before they get very much older. So I'd guess less than a 20 year term, which puts the payments way up there.

    Generator Sizing for 550sqft Cabin?

    The property is just off a state paved road, it sits 1100ft off the road and about half of that is the easement through the neighbor's driveway. FHA nor conventional will approve the home due to not have electric service from the power company. I'm pretty nervous about seller financing. I've...

    Generator Sizing for 550sqft Cabin?

    Well I appreciate all of the suggestions and help so far. But I ran into an unforseen road block. I can't find a single bank or lender who will loan money on a cabin without electricity. We've been pre-approved for a lot more than we're willing to spend on a second place, but apparently not...

    Generator Sizing for 550sqft Cabin?

    The current owner had used a generator before without complaint. The cabin is a good ways away from the neighbor, you just have to drive through their property to access this man's property. I have called the county recorder of deeds office and left a message to find more out about the easement.

    Generator Sizing for 550sqft Cabin?

    Yes, trenched or bored electric service would be my top choice. But the neighbor's property who the easement is through my not allow that through the easement.

    Generator Sizing for 550sqft Cabin?

    I think solar won't be an option. It's pretty heavily wooded.
