Interesting Little Haul Rig....

[Barry]

View attachment 75450



While out shopping for trailers Friday, I ran across this little haul rig. Its a 2001 Bering M23 with an ISB Cummins bolted to a six speed manual. The rig is just tooooooo cheap. I made them an offer... ... ... ... we are about a grand apart. We'll get there.



Trailer is a 53 ft. slant deck with flips on both ends and a center rail. Has a 9K Pearce winch in the nose and was used to haul 4 bumper pull horse trailers at a time... ... ... ...



The rig is slick and clean... ... ... ..... I think I already have a home for it. But ain't it cute!!!

Did you drive it? Cabovers are scary to drive It is cute and ugly at the same time. I just can't get all warm and fuzzy with a cabover. I drove an old C-600 Ford in the late sixty's. When ya tilt the cab, make sure nothing is laying around loose or it will whack the windshield...



Looks like the wheels might be 16's. I can't see the trailer axles or tires. Is it three axle singles or tandem duals?

I did some research on the little bugger but could not find out much. The MD23 is a class 6 with air brakes. It must be bigger then it looks.

Trailer tires are 16s but the truck is 19. 5s... ... ..... If it were not for the rig having a Cummins... ... ... ... . I would have walked away. I am NOT a Hyndai fan.

Just to toss my penny out, one thing that I see that would make do a ton of research on that little truck before purchasing is the front axle/rims are 6 bolts, to me that seems rather strange for a possible class 6 truck ..... Looks like it could do way more than it really could safely / legally.

I would guess the bolt size and the circle diameter are simular to an F-600/650 Ford. They are farm sized trucks in class 6. The Class 6 GVW ranges from 19,501/26,000 LBS so it might be on the low side of class 6, maybe 23,000 lbs.

Back when I drove big trucks, they used to say the driver of a cab over was the first one at the sean of an accident.
