A beefy AWD plow special was awaiting a new spreader body. Note the "blind" hood with no headlight openings. The headlights are mounted on wands, high above the plow frame.
New HX awaits installation of a body. Also painted in highway department yellow, it has perforations in the bumper for some purpose, perhaps hydraulics. The bumper projects out about a foot ahead of the fender line.
There are "Binders" in other parts of the Province too:
Lone Stars are fairly rare so a quick "grab shot" was necessary for this chip hauler at Pointe-au-Pic. Too bad I didn't take a video - those large diameter pipes were nearly deafening at close range.
The HX model is also popular for the heavy work and the Clermont, QC dealer has a special painted version on display.
A favourite of mine has always been the Paystar 5000 model from the 1970s. A preserved former Quebec highways unit still sees regular use hauling firewood. I like to check in on it every year to see that it is still running, so you will have seen pictures of it here before.
Another oldie, which from the fleet number is either a 2001 or a 2005 (likely the former) is this Eagle with plow fittings.
Getting a major refit, it should be on the road before the snow arrives.
