After the first time you swing it into a wall it will be abused.

What town are you in? I'm in MINNESOTA... The other Grand Rapids...
Welcome aboard... To the board.... You're doing very well so far surviving the Grumps who need their afternoon naps
Good questions and actually some great advice has been shared with you.
Definitely consider a van over a trailer for a truckmount. The cold, it's hard to keep things from freezing in general even when going from warm shop to a job.
You can shoot me messages also with questions.
If you have worked at a machine shop, you are going to be set to fix stuff

If you're really going to use it.
I see where you're coming from. although @Mark Saiger is pretty convincing... and helping me look for a good butler in my price range...
I agree and disagree at the same time. Slide in are great because they are easily transferable from one vehicle to another. Having said that I have good success buying pto units in reasonable shape. I am still kicking the tires on a cleanco 47. If I can get it for the right price, I am prepared for the eventuality of replacing the engine or transmission down the road. It's a powerful machine that looks good and seems to be fairly well maintained. It all comes down to price.
Don’t pay any attention to a Sheetrock hanger
and will you be prepared to do that two weeks after you buy it or will there just be a broke down van in your parent's driveway if it happens that soon?
You want to make sure the van doesn't have any rust issues and looks presentable. 5000 hours on a butler or cleanco or even on a hydramaster isn't too bad as long as it's been maintained. If it looks shitty, it's been maintained shitty. Look for pride of ownership.
The van as a whole looks well taken care of, the tm itself (from the few pics) seems clean and presumably maintained. it has 2400hrs, and 170k miles on the van. It used to be Kirk Saiger's until about 2yrs ago, which I hope would mean it was well taken care of, at the very least until it was sold to its current owner...
