Great pic. My wife and I are excited about going next year.

We vacation at Holiday Island every year (my wife's family is from Wichita) and last year we found an A25 posted on Craigslist during our trip. We checked it out on the way to XNA and liked it, so once we got home I got in the car and drove back to pick it up.

It was worth it.

Tough to beat that. I was considering an A25 and was looking at some long drives, but I ruled out both coasts.

Here’s my new tow vehicle without my boat. The boat’s in the shop waiting for parts.
I took my old F-350 to the dealer for service with no intention to buy a new truck. I ran in to my salesman and he asked if I was interested in a new truck, so I asked what he could do. They offered me 11k less than I paid 4 years an 50k miles ago and sold me the new one for $4500 under msrp. I think I did okay on the deal.

Nice F350 Jeeper. One of my favorite color combos too. What's the tow rating on that beast?
....and get some mud flaps on her and then upload a full tow rig picture when the boat is out of the shop.

I have the mud flaps and bed cover ordered, should be here in about a week. The new lower drive is on back order from Cobalt with no ETA, I’m guessing my boating season is over this year. Maybe I’ll do some mountain camping.

What I use to get it to the barn and back. I need the short turning radius offered by the tractor. Top picture is what I use to to get to the lake and back.

Nice changeup m220.

Here is what I move it around the garage with

thats pretty cool. Will it push it up a slight driveway angle like 4%? I use my 425 JD garden tractor but sometimes its not even handy

I would think absolutely as long as you short the backup pin out on the connector with an alligator clip.

It probably would, however it is really slow. A very slow walking pace. It's pretty stout, its a 10K model, other makers of them, but few are rated that high. It has a place to plug the trailer plug into it so it can operate the electric (electric or EoH) trailer brakes. I got it to move trailers into position while working, however, it has found other uses also.

This is about a 8K load, in a shop. small floor slope, not sure of the angle, however that was about 3 inch difference between the front and rear posts the lift (about 3 inches over 20 feet.)

With a tow vehicle that small slow is the way to go. It also blows my mind that it has a 7pin for trailer brakes, thus making it much more safer and easier to use. A 10k rating would definitely be enough for my 2 trailers.

I am still in awe

going back to a SUV this fall. I am excited to see the new Tahoe and the Yukon denali.
But for now, i was gonna buy a nice RV to pull my expensive boat.
