Amazing what a little forethought and planning will do for a project. Looks good, better than the usual close enough. Bet the techs will take care of it too as it seems very well thought out by a tech hisself.
Now, want to make a wager that someone will try and outdo your tug project?
Techs? Take care of something? HA! The young ones will see how far they can push it until it breaks. The more mature techs will respect it more.
As for outdoing it, that's a tall order. This this is already absurdly overpowered and meets all the requirements and then some. It came in at a very tasty price point too. Had I not found a sweet deal on the tug they would have been paying at least another $14,000. Trying to custom build something like this would be far more expensive and might have a higher cost of maintenance.
This was simply a lucky score on the right equipment at a low price and a fabricator who knows the industry very well.
