Not sure.
He's been trying to sell it for months. I imagine he fixed the motor but not the paint.
Thought I would go check it out for fun and see what's been done.
That is an awesome car!

he's asking to much, will likely not sell it

I need it more for the utility aspect. I have some property that is loaded with standing dead firewood, terrain is crazy steep and a rhino is perfect for getting wood out of the woods, taking the wife and a kid out for a ride and picnic but mainly utility for me

How many loads would it take the Rhino to haul this out? The middle picture is 2 pickup loads that we cut this week.

that pick up will not haul a log where my wood is, you'd never get it back there, but if you insist I'll not buy one :confused:

well lets see about 20 split chunks per trip looks like your truck holds about 200 chunks
so looks like about 10 trips up the hill in the rino for 1 pickup load .so load it 10 times in the toy then unload ten times from the toy ten reload to times in to the truck and 1 time at the house.
OH YEAH I got to get me a side by side to make life ez.
how about starting to clear cut at the bottom drag full trees out with the $900 tractor yank stumps with same tractor.
in a few yrs U will have a path big enough to drive a logging truck up your hill.
and still have that 8 grand to piss away on a snowmobile.
and the old Alis or International will still be worth the same $$ or more in 15 yrs when u want to dump it.
I dont think U will find a real fr end loader for the rhino toy to move the huge piles snow we are going to start to see with all this global cooling we are going to get because of the global warming.
If U think U want a toy I may know of a blue commander brp thing factory GPS all tops both windshields less than 400mi in I think 3 yrs

oh, your so cute in all your little innocence! He he he
Have you ever taken your truck to collect apples for hunters into private property property where trucks are not wanted. Have you ever taken your truck up some of the ATV trails to collect berries in places where trucks are not allowed where there is narrow gates, so you can give the berries to friends who make all kinds of stuff and you get some. Have you ever taken your truck through narrow woods with wet areas, rocks where there is no roads where you don't want a road to be in the first place because your trying to keep you 4.5 acres wooded as much as possible (already 40/60) Have you ever helped your buddy on his 80 get a small machine (rhino) into places most people don't care to walk to cut pole sized Ironwood for his parents to heat their cabin? Have you ever went hunting with your buddy and tracked a blood trail in some gnarly terrain to find the deer, load it on your back, walk it to your truck (where your truck would not go or belong) Do you prefer to take your truck on an all day excursion with your wife to be outdoors and spend a beautiful day with your wife riding down roads where trucks are not permitted. Maybe I will get a 50 yr old AC C and throw a jump seat for the wife, she'd love it. We can throw a basket on it and have a wonderful time. The wife can carry 4 pieced of wood while I drive and only make 200 trips to fill that pick up.

Maybe, just maybe the rhino can get through tight areas without having to clear cut a small section. Maybe the rhino will allow me to not have to pull stumps and spend a few days doing the extra work clearing land to get to fire wood. Maybe after unloading the fire wood from the rhino it would be dumped from the "dump bed" of the rhino into a pile by the splitter near the back door where the same woods would be hand unloaded from the truck,,,where it would not be loaded into any rig again but rather stacked into a shed just 25 ft from the splitter.

Oh wait, you mention a commander, that would be awesome,,especially when it needs service I can load it up and haul it who knows where and how many miles for whatever. Stupid ideas to consider a rhino where parts and service are within walking distance. If you think I will not use the "toy" than you would know best, thanks for the fricken insight that this near 50 yr old man is lacking ;)

Now lets all say, sorry Lenny, didn't mean to get your panties in a bunch, just trying to help, didn't need a sarcastic lecture, right? Right!

LOL, let 'em have it Lenny!

It's nice when people offer good insight to help think of things you may not consider yourself but after a few attempts it get a little old. I'm old enough to know exactly what I am looking for. I've cut enough wood and hauled it in a rhino with Mr.Freeze to know what we can and cannot do.

Sorry Ezra,not trying to smash your old berries, I understand your trying to help, no offense to you, I hope see that!

no no wanyney baby, I would never bash you, just your motor,,,lol,,,honestly I have come to the conclusion that the pro chassis is so good and with the motor improvements it gets my vote any day. When I can afford one I WILL buy one. In the mean time I will ride the pile I have and have tons of fun.

Ezzey Ezzey Ezzy! Your right, you are no expert! You don't back down EVEN when you know your wrong,,,good for you, until you can see your wrong, go scratch something will ya,,he he he

Lenny, if I laid out the $12,500 in hundred dollar bills in front of me and sat a new sled next to it (any brand) I would take the money every time. Sleds are way to much money for what you get. So the manufacturers are now selling Fun over value. Guess we could call it perceived value. We are not buying the item (sled) we are now buying what it does and its perceived value.. I truly understand that. Klim does it, Indian does it, Victory does it. Harley Davidson does it. Carhartt and Wolverine does it. How else can one compete against the chinese? Build in perceived value is all the US companies have to go up against them and the world. I forgot to mention the likes of Sea Ray, Tiara, and Hinkley yachts amongst others. Levi sold out.

agreed

I agree.

Lenny, you have the perfect toy for what you like to do. No need to buy something new, yet!
yea, It works but no doubt I am working much harder to do half as good, still I need to wait it out a tad longer. Dave, look what I missed out on

what kind of mi do u get from those VW v8 before they start costing u big money to own?
I was looking at 1 this summer with 06 95k on it for the wife's all around car .
I went with a Mercedes awd wagon for same money and only 40k on it instead.
but I liked the vw better.
and I bet the vw wiper blades are not $80 a pr no joke 80.
but the benz runs sweet down the interstate. I had that thing rolling 130 down the interstate for over 30 min driving back from the black hills felt like 40 mph . then the wife looks up from the I pad and the bitching started and it was 80 the rest of the way lol
