👍👍👍👍 I just love the sound of that Large industrial fan in the background, must be moving some air around, I have one in my bedroom, I go to sleep real easy with that type of sound.
Morning sir. Glad to see a video this morning. Happy Father’s Day. Miss your hopper videos. But don’t blame you for doing what you have to do. I’m running step deck and freight is slow. Lot of cheap rates. So not doing to much. Take it easy old friend. Best to you and the family
You give a great view and insight to the world of being an owner-operator. Many folks don't realize the many hours spent turning wrenches when you aren't driving. My Dad rarely got a peaceful relaxing time at home because he was always in the shop getting her ready for the next run! Great video Gerald. Keep on truckin!!!!!
Yes sir! It’s not an easy life and it’s not always fun. When my buddies are in their ski boats and of having fun I’m still working. But I’m doing what I love and that’s what matters
Morning Gerald. Happy Father’s Day. Hope you and your family have a great day. Miss your hopper videos. But don’t blame you. It’s a tough market out here. Take care.
Man I’m hearing 3500-4000. I had most of this laying around. Just in the pump and PTO you’ll be around 1500 bucks. Hydraulic lines are stupid high too so that’s probably another 500. Aluminum tanks are crazy high too about 700 bucks there. 300 for the airshift and tower. Probably another couple hundred in fittings and miscellaneous stuff. Depending on how you block the 5th you could run into some money on fab work. It ain’t cheap for sure!
I'm sure you know this but if you use a stud instead of a bolt in the pto by the adapter it aint too terrible to get it on and off. Still no fun pulling them or putting them on lol
@thedirtytrucker9633 it's more about you and your ability to make things work. Not everyone can pull a transmission put in a rear main seal and clutch, then put it all back together. Don't sell yourself short. You remind me of a very good friend I had out of lane Oklahoma. You both are top hands. Trucken ain't for sissies.
That’s actually a quarter frame. Like a between a frame dump and and end dump. It has a subframe that the suspension mounts to and scissor frames like an end dump. All the wheels stay in the ground when it dumps
It’s basically a hydraulic system to operate various trailers. It’s driven by a power take off mounted to the transmission that turns a hydraulic pump that flows hydraulic fluid back and forth from the truck to the trailer and operates the function of the trailer. In my application the pump pushed fluid to a cylinder in the trailer that raises the trailer bed to dump the load
