Uses for Deuces

Super Deuce - hauling old cement!

Have been busting up old cement with the dozer and loading it with the skidloader. I got a new toy for the skidloader - a grapple! Makes loading that stuff a breeze! Hauled 8 loads up to the neighbors ( 2 miles away) to a washout that he wanted to fill in. The last load was an old concrete water tank that used to be filled by a windmill. It was heavy and my crawler couldn't break it up, so I loaded it in one piece and dumped it! It was too much weight, but the deuce handled it like a champ! I might have celebrated with a malt beverage after that one! :D

Pic #5 sure shows just how much these truck can "really" carry. I'll guess it's well beyond "street legal", but it's still impressive.

Yep! Good thing it was gravel and dirt road between loading and dumping. No DOT checkpoints! I have no idea what that old piece of crete weighed, but it sure was heavy. I'd like to know...just for bragging rights! I can promise you I won't be hauling that much again.

I can hear the groaning all the way over here in WY! Kinda gives you an idea what a low rider Deuce looks like...not a pretty picture :oops:! Makes me wonder...All the deuces I've seen have only one set of springs. My XM-211 has 2 sets of springs on each side. Sort of like a super duty overloads (picture posted). Enjoy those malt beverages, you earned them!

I've used my deuce for :

Hauling stone by the pallet for my house

A scaffold to work on my barn

Pulling mobile homes at my dealership

AND were installing a wheel lift on my bobber to do repo work with......

Best of all is always hauling the kids through the river!

Last time we had a get together it got used as a dining platform.

Mostly she is used as a mobile platform and workshop for when we bring out all the machine guns. We have a few here, usually we have several times this much out.

She also gets used as a camper, being self contained with aircon and now a bed up above the cab, its good for hunting trips etc too.

I usually just drive my Deuce to work or the occasional off roading but my son loves playing in the Deuce. Smiling from ear to ear, definitely daddy's little boy!! Works great to entertain the kids, also great for them to play on when they play war and such with their little machine guns.

This tread is awesome people are always asking me what I do with my duce. When my company 572 MICO decied to hall mulch for the out side of our building I got a call at 8pm the night before because all our fmtv's were broke or otherwise in use. It only took me 2 1/2 loads to mulch around our company compared to the 12 loads the company two doors down did with pickups.

Don't forget weddings! My dad and I got into these great old machines a few years ago. He has an m35a2 and then when I graduated college he bought me an m109 that I have used as a camper. This summer my parents, my girl that is now my wife, a few friends of mine, and I spent a lot of good time together fixing the m35 up to use in our wedding. It turned out looking great and it was a hit with everyone!
