It has been said Chuck Norris counted to infinity twice and that once he told a woman to 'calm down' and she did. Amazing man. RIP.

Agreed, we also have the 20K version and it has been very nice to have on occassions.

^^^^^ This. It is similar to my L2350 (but greater HP) and mine does everything you cited in your post. FEL will lift about 900 lbs.

Best of luck. It is an arduous task that lay ahead of you.

IF you do, please take a video. Jumping cactus is a whole 'nother cat. Take pliers and tweezers with you .

;) Just put up a sign reading 'FREE Cactus'. There will be some idiot come along and want them.

^^^^^^ This. Some of the replies so far are absolutely comical. Cholla will have to be removed by hand. Sever the roots and remove the plant the best you can. They are a HORRIBLE cactus to deal with. The object isn't to 'kill' them, it doesn't matter dead or alive....they must be physically...

Agree that a borescope would make it easy to 'locate' the leaf once the tank is drained. Then vacuum out or secure a wad of tape (sticky side out) to the end of a coat hanger and probe for it. I'd try any number of things before removing the tank.

All Marlin 39's are essentially 'Take Down' by design. The newer one pictured has a cross bolt safety I believe and a dandy case. But any 39 can be 'taken down' by simply removing one screw (thumb screw).

Thanks for the ideas and replies fellas. In the meantime.....I found a 20' x 90" 'deck over' trailer that might solve my length and width issue. Thinking about going that way.

Anyone add a platform/cradle to the front of a utility trailer to rest the FEL bucket on? The purpose to gain a little more room on an 18' trailer when an implement is attached to the rear.

^^^^^ Agree with the above. Addtionally, reverse rotation requires a bit more PTO hp. OP would do well to buy a ruggedly built unit with some weight to it. There are chain drive and gear drive units as well, so a bit of research is in order if one wishes to be a 'smart/informed' buyer. A...
