Did yours have a title already upon purchase, or did you submit an SF-97? Also, is my understanding correct that the GVWR on the registration takes precedence over data plate when it comes to insurance and legality? Thanks, Ronmar!

Awesome information! Thank you, General! I found a data plate example for the M1078 A1P2.

Most of the data plates I have seen have the GVWR for the M1078 at 22,770lbs (which we know is below the combined axle ratings). Does anyone have theirs registered at 26k? I also wanted to share a technical drawing from Palfinger showing the projected axle weights if a PK18002E (4170lbs) was...

This would ultimately be a small grapple saw setup for removing trees on homes following disasters. The idea would be to run the stabilizers that are included with the Kboom, two additional stabilizers on opposite corners of the crane, and then one final stabilizer in front of the cab. That is a...

Ronmar, thank you for the input! I’m sure you are correct on Acela’s recertification process of the rear capacity. That’s good news about the curb weight of the cab and chassis. Most medium duty truck chassis in the 33k GVWR range have a front axle rating of 12k lbs. The greater front axle...

Bringing back this thread for a second! I am working on a special project involving the possibility of mounting a small (~6000lb) knuckleboom crane on an LMTV and would love as much capacity on the M1078 platform as possible without going to the M108x platforms. Does anyone know if there were...
