I usually meet a convoy carrying a 3 blade set every morning when I drive my daughters to school. These are 150 ft long each and <BR>
built in the new Siemens factory in Fort Madison 30 miles from here. The ones I see are heading west. Don't know how many sets I miss<BR>
going north, south and east.<BR>

<DIV> Nat seen some come though Indy a couple of years ago that was being trucked, 2 separate flat beds, the tail steerable like the old fire ladder trucks, one blade per, routing very important LOL, and yes I was guessing 100 ft. from what I have seen on TV is these things are getting bigger extensionally from the early models.</DIV>
