That bucket looks a little one sided. I'm sure it's the angle of the picture. That's not you being frisked is it Ken? CAW

Ken, I didn't realize you had your Escort Truck for 12 years, pretty impressive sub retirement job!

Ken great pictures of the trucks and equipment. Now the question is which seat did you prefer the higher one or the lower one? I was also going to ask if the man being frisked was that senior citizen from NC because I heard he likes getting frisked for no apparent reason.

Love the photos thanks for sharing. I echo Claus' statement didn't realize you ran escort as long as you did. I honestly thought you did it for a year or two only.

Weighs about 105,000, and that doesn't include the door.

If that thing tipped, the whole truck goes. Those Australian trailers would carry that one better. That's a great picture. I could dig my spring garden with one scoop. CAW

Ken thanks for the response, that bucket is huge did you ever haul one of those while in the higher seat. As far as the old man from NC, your correct they did not have those trucks around in the 1800’s, my bad.
