After finishing up a logging job in the woods of Central Oregon, the owner of the company unfortunately passed away before he was able to haul his equipment out of the mountains. Now years later, his family has gotten most of the equipment hauled out, but one lone log skidder was left out there, until it was purchased by ‪@quintonbartolotta‬ to add to his collection of ‪@caterpillarinc‬ equipment. So I brought out my ‪@SeriousTrucks‬ 4900 and new (to me) ‪@trail-ezetrailers5661‬ and we headed up into the mountains to get the machine loaded up and hauled back to civilization!

@Captain-Max 14 часов назад

So many memories come to mind watching your videos. Way back in 1975, I was a young mechanic for a logging, mining, construction, and forestry equipment dealer. I also drove the single axle roll back truck and helped when needed on heavier equipment hauls. As a young man fresh out of the military, it started my career, which went on to me becoming a Highway Maintenance Foreman for the largest county in Minnesota. I've worked on, around, and with most everything you do and being long retired watching you work really takes me back.

@SlipFitGarage 9 месяцев назад

@@anacleta424 Commercial truck drivers who regularly get lose gravel and sand on the their truck follow the laws because if they don't it easily results in commercial tickets from the DOT. We're not talking about the average ticket a cop gives to someone driving a car, we're talking about commercial vehicle tickets written by the DOT..... who, by the way, can pull you over at any time WITHOUT a reason. If you don't brush your truck off, you WILL get tickets from the DOT.... and it doesn't take many tickets from them for a driver to get his act together. Casey was just doing what he and every other commercial driver is required to do. I have wiped (swept) sand and gravel off my lowboy trailers and the back of my dump trucks literally hundreds of thousand of times over the last 30+ years as a commercial driver. Casey did the right thing, for sure.... but so does everyone else in the this business. What you saw Casey do is the rule, not the exception.

@glenncombs3471 9 месяцев назад

Agreed that this is the law, but I've lost a windshield following a dump truck before. All the laws in the world won't stop thoughtless idiots. The fact that Casey showed this is classy, IMHO.

With every kind of trailer you can imagine.Good job, i thought you were a little light on tools and supplies to "rescue a rig thats been sitting" but i guess everything was in support truck. Good Job!

@simpledj509chromo7 9 месяцев назад

I know Casey has plans for that truck, but I'm still wondering what he's doing with it if he's not putting an apartment on that wheelbase. At my last company I was a little over 300 inches with a 53' quad axle chip trailer and as a rookie with only a few years of part time driving under my belt that rig was a pain in the butt in town. Casey has to be 330 on that truck or more. Or maybe the camera is just playing tricks on me.

@boh348 9 месяцев назад

That was cool video of how smooth they are supposed to go. I saw a trailer like yours years ago that had one very short and very fat cylinder in the middle with a 3ft diameter foot on it. This cylinder was mounted in the balance point with the tongue flat. They guy pulled in a tight yard and unhooked. Then with this center cylinder picked the trailer up maybe 4 inches and him and his wife spun the trailer 180 degrees by hand. absolutely the neatest thing I have even seen on a trailer. He said he carried many trackhoes for swimming pool companies in tight neighborhoods and being able to do so was nice. I did not ever see his new trailer he was having built with the same pivot cylinder that he told us would also have steering rear axles to be able to go down alleys in nicer neighborhoods without knocking over gas meters. Very nice job on the recovery for sure. I like the western star allot. good looking truck. I wish international would get there gremlins resolved. We finally just sold all of ours.

@ronneidert 9 месяцев назад

I have always liked the look and reliability of Western Star. Pair that with a very functional trailer and you’ve got a great combination sir!

@741662027 9 месяцев назад

I never knew trailers could have engines! That's a powerful piece of equipment, to lift the loaded trailer! I sure thought you would paint it, given how well you keep the rest of your gear. I have to say, you busted Quentin for parking by the fuel pump... and then parked illegally on the wrong side of the road!

@timothygeiger8271 9 месяцев назад

A lot of heavy haul trailers have auxiliary engines for the hydraulics. If you don't have an engine on the trailer, the tractor has to be set up for hydraulics, which gets pricey, & in some situations not practical. It's usually like a lawn mower engine, only a little bigger. Doesn't take alot to run the hydraulic pump.

Not illegal to park off the road facing the ‘wrong way’. Not when there are a surface meant for parking.

I'm not trying to be mean, rude, or disrespectful. But I hope you get a recovery call soon. I'm feigning for an off-road recovery. I love your off-road recovery videos. As I have told you many times ( I don't know if you remember or not), but with every recovery, you teach me something. Sometimes, it's a different technique like running a triple like pull with only one line. Sometimes, you get new tools or gadgets. But most of all I enjoy the fact that you really seem to care about people. Yes, I understand that you have a business to run, and making money is how you provide for your family. So please don't think that I don't understand or care. But the recovery videos are just cooler.

@georgiapatriot4575 5 месяцев назад

20:30 - a perfect example of "you are driving the TRAILER, not the truck". Very nice setup. This is something I think a lot of drivers don't get. First you get the trailer where you want it set up for the turn and then you position the tractor. The reason this works is that in the first 8 or 10 feet you back up, no input you make to the steering has any affect on the trailer. This means you are just moving the trailer back and forth in the same spot to get the tractor set up to go around the turn. Well done! 👍
