  • Thinking of buying New Truck

    Ive been thinking about buying a Grumman olson Kurbmaster Truck. Ill post a photo of it . There is very little info on this truck on the internet. I have seen one of these up close and have drove it. I think it would be nice LCO truck to haul all my stuff in and lock it up at the same time. The bed of the trailer is flat all the way to the stepup cab.

      That is one nice rig......

      Depending on the price, I'd recommend it. The truck is going to be a twenty year purchase for you, even if you choose to bumper pull a smaller enclosed trailer, the big one makes good storage, but can be used daily anyway.

      You wont find much info on the 'net for step vans, and even less on this low production rig. You could try www.stepvans.com for some basic info.

      The truck prolly has a 350/350 auto which is a good inexpesive combo to run per mile. Grumman Kurbmasters are medium to high quality upfitted trucks.

      I preferred standard Step Vans, leaving the trailer at home most of the time......

        GEEVEE I was thinking the same thing. Plus its a moving billboard. It would be one of a kind where I live. Also MasterMower I do BIG Commercial stuff not alot small residential yards. Also my tractor would fit in that truck with my mower. I talked to guy that would build me custom ramp for the back that would extend out and fold up.I have cut it short going to buy new BushHog this morning and the salesman already ringing my phone off the hook. Later guys...

          I'm a bit of an expert, PM me. I'll help. Depending on how much the tractor weighs, you may not have to have a big ramp. And a twelve volt winch can operate whatever. Just don't spend more than two fifty on a ramp set-up without tal;kling with me.
