Delivering A Caterpillar 140H Motor Grader 

Hey Plaza, i work at a CAT dealer as a service tech. For never driving a motorgrader, good job. Those are definitely the hardest to learn due to the fact it intimidates people with all the levers and pedals. For your information man, 140H, or and H series motorgrader uses air brakes, the alarm should shut off within 30 seconds after start up. If the alarm does not turn off, either the machine isn't building air, or a level three code is present. Driving with no air, is dragging the brake on the transmission. But judging by how easy she moved, id say it had a level 3 code. Level three is severe, anything that can pose a danger to you or the equipment. It is best never to operate a machine with a alarm going off unless you know why. I enjoy your videos man. Keep up the good work. Just wanted to share some information with you.

The grey haired guy seems cool. It's nice you had some help for all of that.

I enjoy watching you moving all the different heavy equiptment,haul a few pieces my self.First class operation.Thanks for the videos.

Yes you stand corrected and old timer doesn’t read all the caption but your doing a great job keep safe and god bless you and your dad and company

Your company has a huge investment in heavy haulers all of which appear to be in pristine condition. Very nice visual for the public.

by chance, could you do a video of you guys' fleet? keep the vids coming.

Good thing you have a recording of all the information...😨

Good job guys and nice trailers too.

Ok I just subscribed lol. Great video man!!

Amazing truck and trailer and video bro 😎🇺🇸👊🏼🤘🏻

Awesome video Trent!

Hi, Trent thank you for the video great job on the grader 🖒

Another great video Trent

If you are careful you can tuck the left side of the mull board behind the front of the rear tire and the right part of the mull board up against the front tire just don't put a lot of pressure against the front tire. Honestly you can tuck the whole mull board under the grader but that is a whole different process, same as standing the mull board straight up on end. Anyways great video.

Usally on a140 h will be a chain down point in front of the articulation,point near the centre ,I usally cross the chains over here to help stop the walking action on a grader,and put a tyre under blade to help preserve the deck,hold the blade down with another chain.but we have very rough roads here in Australia.

diserves all the likes in your videos.MERECE TODOS OS LIKES EM SEUS VIDEOS.

That Landoll trailer is made in Marysville Kansas , close to where I’m from!! Darn good trailers I believe.....

Nice rig and love and trailer

Gr8 vid by the way bro

2 days in a row to have the lowbed impressive

great vid what are you going to school for. your awesome at what you do.easy to see your very smart and a great driver as well. like how you may not no the controls but you figure it out.thinking u would have a major impact on plaza towing if u didnt stay

Subbed, great content, keep it up and stay safe

Thks

Another early one for you guys! bear with me on this one never operated a motor grader

It's weird seeing the way you do a chain binder in the state of Texas you put one end of the chain on the equipment or load and the other end of the chain in the slot or d-ring on the trailer and you put the chain binder in the middle and the excess chain you wrap it around the chain binder or ratchet binder

Good job.

Boy, that thing sure was pissed off at you about something.

I thought I was the only key hoarder around! Great video as always Trent, and yeah get that education.

4:30 i ' m too old for this shit

100/5 video

Interesting trailer concept 39:20 with sliding axles and tilting cargo bed. One question -how is the axle carrier moved over this long distance - with hydraulic cylinders or chain mechanism? Here in Austria (Europe) I have never seen this kind of trailer. TY in advance and cheers!

I have a question. Do most CAT machines use Air Brakes? And do they function like trucks and school busses? (Like buzzer at 60 and parking brake pops out like at 30 or so). I never hear the “air being applied” when parking or when the foot is taken off the brake or an air dryer purging. that’s why the question. Plus I’m always looking for the yellow Diamond parking brake knob but never see one.

Wouldn't you want to move that grader as far forward as possible? It seems like with all the weight of the grader being toward the rear of the machine that you'd want to move it as far up on the trailer as you could for proper weight distribution. Or am I missing something?

just wondering could you do vid on you fleet and what you have

Can u do a driving video of the kenworth

Great job the only thing that I see is you don’t put enough chains on your heavy units .i got stop by fl dot and they said I need two more chains for the weight. . It cost me 150.00 fine . So be safe more the better I always say

Hey bro how many 20 ft chains do u have? Or are they mostly 10 footers? Just curious

SEAT BELT. LOL

When you where load the grader why did you lift the trailer up the take it back down

You look like your having too much fun. LOL

At least the equipment you are moving is not dirty. I hate it when I have to move blades and loaders that are completely full of mud and dirt that you can't even put chain in the tow hooks. Dozers I can understand but not loaders or other equipment.

what are the pink things called on the floor?

Please do a video on a Q&A I want to know how old you are and where you're from

Like the keystone cops

The beeper on the grader was probably seat belt

I thought there is supposed to be a chain on the machine every ten feet. I like the trailer.

Motor Grader's are pretty almost extinct nowadays. It's always nice to see one still in action.

That a new trailer there Trent?

You might be under-tied for that load. Four chains@ 4700 lbs is 18800. A Caterpillar 140H Motor Grader is ~48000 lbs and the 50% rule needs 24000 lbs of tie down. Two more chains (over the grader blade-28200 lbs total) would keep DOT from writing some expensive paper or your insurance carrier from walking if something happens.

Dam how can that chain have enough power to hold that caterpillar

Will there be a vid of hauling the scraper

Are contractors in California not allowed to haul their own equipment?

Did you check fluids before starting?

Did he just leave his truck open and running? Someone could have stolen your truck?!?

This is sick, thumbs up, but I had to stop watching because of the beeping, just put your seat belt on or at least buckle it up and sit on it, how can you stand that beeping as your driving?

I don't trust your chaining method

I'd that all you do is delivery? I want to see some wrecks. Non fatal of course. Wrecks!!

Great video Trent!
