We heard Quinn in LasVegas was getting #2.  Sits on a tractor trailor.  That will take about 95% of operators out of the picture.

The way I see it playing out is to trade in a 58 or 63 that has a good equity position. Starting from 'scratch' the payments would keep you up at night.

What is the advantage of the 70m??

Can you disconnect the tractor from the unit to gain the reach lost or do you have to leave the tractor on?? A 65m has got to be close for reach over the bumper and over the side..compared to the 70m with the tractor attached.

Do they supply binoculars free to see the poor hose man..

Around here, customers rather pay a smaller pump to pour and move a couple of times before they would pay for a big one. Big pumps are a difficult sizes to sell. They only ask for the big pumps when they absolutely have to.

I get the chills just thinking of what the payments would be.....

This is NOT a machine for anything other than a large market.

Those $3,000 to $7,000 job tickets do look pretty good.

This is a specialty machine. For the right company these monsters are money makers.

royal concrete pumps,

the answer to your question is no, The tractor has to remain attached to the pump for counter balance.  But keep in mind that the outrigger spread on the 65 and the 70 are almost the same.
