I am fortunate to have one with a solid body. I think one of
the problems is that the truck is so big, most owners don't
have a place to store them inside.
I don't either, but I solved the problem by building a huge tent
out of 4-6" diameter trees and a 30x60' tarp from Harbour Freight.
It ain't pretty but I have enough land to hide it where it doesn't draw
comments. It has gone through two winters so far and heading for the third.
It went through one hurricane and several bad wind storms.
I will probably replace the tarp next year.
Right about the pulling power. I recently pulled a friend's large
IH tractor out of the mud and then went right into the same hole he
got stuck in and pulled the huge log that he couldn't budge, breaking off
big roots in the process.
