Well, I seem to be developing a new career at age 59 -- kinda late, but it's a hoot! -- been thinkin -- they trust me to load trucks with this:

Wonder how long it'd take me to hook up the boat and haul it over to the coast...bet it'd be more reliable than that stinkin Ford! (BTW, the Ford is just coming back after another warranty repair -- and we're saying goodbye to it soon as we can sell it!)

way cool, fun toy there...I would think it would take you a fair bit to get to the coast but, it would be a safe trip
 
3 hours tops, 2 1/2 if you leave the bucket at home. Articulated loaders are great. You know you are getting good when you can keep at least one wheel off the ground at all times.
 
Hey Caty...once you get to the coast, if the bucket will lift high enough, you could sling launch your boat...OR you could beach launch...hmmm...OH the possibilities!!! Have fun!

Cool Roger! I'm guessin that tractor's a weeeeee bit easier to steer than the loader...the "wheel" (which is about 1/3 of a real steering wheel) is really sensitive and to spin on a (very large) dime, you turn it about 1/4 of a regular wheel turn -- makes for a REALLY interesting ride when ya speedin across the pit! I'm havin way too much fun at work -- first truck I loaded, the driver put on his hardhat, got out of his cab and ran toward the exit...jokingly of course, with his arms covering his head -- I revved up the throttle and blew the bucket up in the air and made like I was going to charge his truck --- when I met him back at the scale house to weigh him, he was crackin up. No dents, no dings, no body work needed so far :xnaughty
