Year's ago I got stuck in a kwt700. A tow truck driver arrived and explained a simple trick. Kitty litter under and around the tires. He proved it worked. I always carry kitty litter,( mud may not work with Kitty litter)
Oh yes ,there is more uses for those out riggers , than just for pumping to lift the pump truck up and bring gravel and put it under the drives thanks BigAl California
MUDDY!!!! i started working with a rebar company and i miss pumping :( glad to see your still doing your thing! keep up the awesome work, i learned everything i know from you more than my instructors. as a struggling apprentice thank you for saving my ass from getting fired hahahahahha
You should use open side drive tires for off road use. They bite when you really need it. These tires you have on are for over the road. Also try the wider tires that they use in the landfill for their refuse units. They are about 2” wider.
That’s good to know. We have tried open shoulder tires but these pumps weigh so much that they wear those types of tires out really fast. As you can tell here this wasn’t a traction issue. This part of the road fell out from under us and had the truck sitting on its frame.
I could be wrong but, when the air gets forced out of the pumping hose & it makes that hissing sound, are those sounds referred to as “CONCRETE FARTS”?
Could of been worse ...a long pour then bogged in the dark..lady luck shone on you that day ...got out with all the undercaraige in the right place ...
