I may be rolling through that way on Sunday with my goose. Could set it right on the crossbeams IF it is a solid base unit.

if its 3" pass through, ill store it.  make links.  scrap it after or keep lol

says it has 3 chucks, and two of them are HUGE


motor and pulley system is above the chuck, it appears to be 6-7' tall, 10' over all length. 


I guess it would need two cherry pickers, a welder and some box steel to winch it to a flat bed.

or pay a roll back to deliver it would be way easier

Apparently, yes. Why? Wish I knew.

I blame outlooks defaulting to reply above original and discouraging trimming quoting and line by line reply. It fucked people's mindset on replies.

broke down and called the guy lol

Took 5 minutes to get him to understand my question ahah


spindle pass though is only 1.5"   chuck diameter is 3.25" id pass 

it does have a thing that supports material from the bed, and he said you could easily put in a 6' piece of stock.

he got it off a trailer with a cherry picker and pipes  :o

I think id like to get it
Hmm.
