2017 Ford F-750SD

FOR SALE: 2017 FORD F-750 SUPER DUTY GRAPPLE TRUCK – PETERSEN LIGHTNING TL3 – 20' REACH – 25-YARD DUMP BODY – 6.7L POWER STROKE DIESEL – CLEAN CARFAX Offered for sale is a 2017 Ford F-750 Super Duty Grapple Truck professionally equipped with a Petersen Lightning TL3 grapple loader and a massive 25-cubic-yard steel dump body, creating a highly capable vocational truck designed for tree service companies, storm cleanup contractors, municipalities, public works departments, landscaping operations, debris removal companies, disaster-response contractors, utility right-of-way clearing, land-clearing operations, and vegetation management crews. This purpose-built configuration combines Ford's heavy-duty F-750 chassis with a commercial grapple-loading system capable of picking up and hauling tree limbs, brush, logs, storm debris, landscaping waste, and other bulky material without requiring separate loading equipment. With only 93,001 miles, a Clean CARFAX, available service records, and a well-maintained, ready-to-work condition, this F-750 represents an excellent turnkey solution for an operation looking to immediately add grapple and debris-hauling capability. Power comes from Ford's proven 6.7L Power Stroke turbo diesel V8 engine producing 270 horsepower, providing the low-end torque and durability required for demanding vocational service. The eight-cylinder diesel is paired with Ford's TorqShift 6-speed automatic transmission, creating a straightforward and dependable drivetrain well suited for stop-and-go collection work, job-site operation, and highway transportation between locations. A 50-gallon fuel tank provides practical operating range for long workdays, while the 4x2 drivetrain and heavy-duty commercial chassis provide the foundation necessary for the grapple loader and large-capacity debris body. This F-750 is configured as a true 33,000 lb GVWR heavy-duty commercial truck, giving it substantially greater carrying capability than lighter non-CDL F-750 configurations. The chassis rides on a 260-inch wheelbase and features a 12,000 lb front axle and a heavy-duty 21,000 lb single rear axle. Full air brakes provide the stopping capability expected from a truck in this weight category, while heavy-duty spring suspension provides a rugged and straightforward setup designed for demanding vocational applications. The truck rides on durable steel wheels and utilizes an aluminum fuel tank, further complementing its commercial-duty configuration. At the heart of this truck's vocational capability is the Petersen Lightning TL3 grapple loader, a purpose-built material-handling system designed to allow a single truck to both load and transport bulky debris. The TL3 provides an impressive 20-foot boom reach, allowing the operator to reach piles of branches, logs, brush, storm debris, and other material positioned alongside the truck without constantly repositioning the vehicle. This reach can dramatically improve productivity during cleanup operations, particularly along roadways, residential streets, parks, utility corridors, and large properties where debris may be spread over a substantial area. The Petersen grapple system provides substantial lifting capability, with the specification sheet listing a 3,200 lb capacity at full extension and a maximum 7,100 lb capacity at 10 feet. This combination of reach and lifting strength gives the operator considerable flexibility when handling everything from lightweight brush and tree limbs to substantially heavier logs and debris. The ability to lift up to 3,200 pounds while fully extended is particularly valuable because it allows useful lifting capacity to be maintained even when material cannot be positioned immediately next to the truck. When heavier objects are closer to the loader, the rated capacity increases substantially, reaching 7,100 pounds at a 10-foot radius. Supporting the grapple loader are extendable vertical outriggers, which provide additional stability during loading operations. These outriggers are particularly important when the boom is extended to the side or handling heavier material, allowing the truck to establish a more stable working platform before the grapple is operated. The integrated loader and outrigger configuration means crews can arrive at a job site, stabilize the truck, collect debris, load the body, and transport the material using a single vehicle, potentially reducing the need for a separate loader, skid steer, excavator, or additional support truck. Once material is collected, it is carried in the truck's enormous 25-cubic-yard steel dump body. The high-volume body is particularly well suited for brush, tree limbs, landscaping debris, storm waste, and other bulky material where volume rather than sheer weight frequently becomes the limiting factor. A 25-yard body allows crews to collect a substantial quantity of debris before traveling to a disposal or processing facility, reducing dump trips and improving productivity through
