Dump Truck Tailgating Gravel on a Long Driveway

[@aaronburford5701]

It's fascinating to both watch and hear the gravel come out of the dump truck to the ground so smoothly.... it is a guilty pleasure!

[@NealORussa]

Thanks Aaron! I agree it's a good feeling after a nice spread.

[@featheredcoyote5477]

I've been spreading gravel on county roads for my local highway department for 10 yrs now. It always me excited when I spread 5 loads of gravel a day. It's like mowing with a zero turn mower and seeing them stripes when you're finished. Instant gratification

You done fine driver when it clogs up just open them chains little wider it come out I've done it for years love spreading rock.

I have a truck looks just like yours except for color. How much weight can you carry? I figured 10 ton on mine but haven’t weighted it yet. Not on the road yet. Thanks for the videos.

[@NealORussa]

Awesome. I usually ask for 10 tons and feel completely comfortable with that weight. I've carried around 12 though when the loaderman got a little wild.

Another excellent video Neal. I see you and Sam over at Tri Star Diggin running these smaller trucks. I like the appeal of them, smaller than a tri axel, easier to get into smaller places, cost is cheaper.....I, like most of us, always want to go as big as I can afford. Todd at Diggninlife21 told me to be competitive I'd probably want a larger truck than one the size you have. Do you find yourself wanting a larger truck at times? If so, what would you upgrade to?

[@NealORussa]

Thanks for the comment Duane! I love the single axle cause it's easy to drive, easy to back, easy to haul a trailer, etc. But yes sometimes it has its limits with hauling. I work alone so anytime I need lots of stone I usually just call the rock yard and have them deliver to me with a couple trucks. The single axle truck is good for residential deliveries. Most people don't need 23 tons.

Nice wipers. were they half off? They look it. 😁

[@NealORussa]

Haha there's not a big selection of wipers that fit an 89. It's kind of an odd setup with a small shaft and cotter pin. But yea I think they were $7 each at Napa

Share a tip with you on wet day add 2 links and lift slower and you may have to drive 3 mph faster.

[@NealORussa]

Thanks for the tip! Appreciate the comment and you watching!

[@rickscott4879]

Great job Need to do some research on your vocabulary gravel ?? Looks like Stone your hauling No Disrespects

[@NealORussa]

Haha yes, it is really crushed limestone. Most people around here say gravel and gravel driveways so it's just stuck with me.
