Question and Answers
Questions:
1. I wanted to check if there need to be heat & a/c in the machine or just a full hard cab. I have a couple options so I wanted to clarify to narrow it down.
2. Also, do they want a windshield wiper included for the front windshield?
3. This model includes a poly skid plate but does not come with A-arm guards. Both poly and aluminum skid plate options are available—please confirm your preference.
4. Additionally, regarding the tow hitch, are you looking for a hitch with a ball or just the receiver? The unit comes standard with a receiver from the factory.
Answer:
1. We will accept a heater if it is standard with the hard cab configuration, but it is not required. Either way we do want the full hard cab as you indicated.
2. No need for a/c or windshield wipers.
3. I don't have a materials preference on skid-plate, but I do want it to be a full-length skid plate with front and rear A-arm guards. If you need a materials preference, I would go with poly.
I did not specify materials as I am not sure if A-arm guards and full length skid plate are available in a single materials choice for all vendors.
4. I want the machine to come with a hitch receiver, it does not need to include ball hitch.
