He Bought a 5-Ton Military Truck! (6X6)

Spence bought a big boy toy! A 6X6 5-ton military truck with a dump bed! Bought it up in Minnesota and drove it back 4 hours. It's a 1979, 5-speed with 5 low gears, and 5 high gears. The plan is to use it for Farm Clean-ups and a couple other projects he has coming up.
Also thanks to anyone who came out to the Farm Progress Show! We had a blast and met a lot of awesome people. I thought we ordered enough t-shirts, but we gave them away all in the first hour of the show. There were a lot more people than I was expecting- crazy!

Grant, that would make a great truck to pull your grain wagons to the grain elevator during harvest, you could even put grain in the dump bed!!

I have never seen buch before and he was not what i expected he looked like but thanks for the face reveal buch lol

[@teenagefarmer]

What a cool truck. Thanks for sharing.

[@thisArtistisUnknown]

This video put such a massive smile on my face lads, from hearing you narrate the most engaging farm sim videos to seeing you do it in real life is so fricken awesome man. Spencer seems so stoked with his truck and is clearly a natural at driving manual! Given me inspiration to get out there and try learn myself, thanks homie. You're actually a legend Grant, both of you are, but man, so impressed with your grind. You're clearly an incredibly hard working man with either a god gifted business acumen or more likely; you just worked really hard and studied the greats on how to do it. Super impressed man. Keep inspiring us!! Much love from little old New Zealand, hope the SquadBuilt showcase went/goes well!! Game is looking great, seems perfectly marketed towards actual farmers being able to play a bit when they're on the old autosteer 😅 edit: wrote this at like 3 mins in, seeing and hearing Buch irl was a blessing at the end there.. and Spencers lesson on driving the truck, what an excellent teacher! Your lady did so well! All of you guys rock!!! Maybe if you played less farm sim you would have super strength 🤣🤣

Top dog right here, pin this comment

[@samuelstola1885]

You can use the truck for grain if you make a back for it

[@matthewkabanuk443]

Alright Grant, I did some quick research and got some results. Spencer truck is 1979 M817 dump truck (part of the M809 series). It’s got a 14 L Cummins NHC-250 naturally aspirated diesel that cranks out 250 horse @2100 rpm and 658 ft lbs of torque @1500 rpm.

[@jackgingell2911]

You and your brother should make hunting vids

[@DroneBot231]

He bought a military truck?!

[@larrykahl8086]

Be glad you have those seats, they are a lot nicer than the ones that were originally in them just about 3 inches of foam covered in canvas and not much legroom in those cabs either. I had a license for a M923 and drove it all over Saudi Arabia back in 1990/91.

[@tysonproctor8807]

you should get a new tractor and some cattle

[@asquithmainlines699]

Spencer, 10 out of 10 on a coolness scale.

[@comeandtravel1]

I learned to drive stick in a 1948 Dodge weapons carrier in 1965 that needed to be double-clutched but a similar experience to learning to shift as you guys had...fun! That 6-by will come in handy. I would look for a low-boy trailer the 6-by can carry the excavator on next. You could also haul grain carts with it, too.

[@larrythompson8630]

Excellent idea. Pintle hitch trailers seem to go reasonable

[@1dan_kj]

Maybe in the future you can get semi

[@tristanfarms]

That is so cool!!!!!

Try shifting without the clutch. Should only need to use the clutch on takeoff.

[@familydigangi264]

You could use it as a grain truck lol

[@moservibe2444]

Man you guys are really living my dream

[@That_low_suburban]

Nice

[@jakephillips812]

Spence, most trucks shift easier if you double clutch. It seems to give the motor time to slowdown to easier shift the gears. Takes practice. Google double clutch shifting.

[@Rebelgamer-1111]

So this was the truck that Buch posted lmao

[@gamestudio4429]

How do you transport that big excavator... The truck is nice addition spece..

[@randybedker1584]

The only time need a clutch is starting and stopping. Otherwise shift between 1500-1700 rpm. Definitely will save a lot on the clutch. Have fun with the new toy.

[@larrythompson8630]

If she is driving. The seat needs to be changed. (Likely not possible) but blocks can be attached to pedals to make it better. I would suggest not extending bed to max height every time. Go high enough to dump, not to stops. I admit the 45 degree extension likely made loading easier. Can the skid loader reach now?

[@taylornewsome685]

You guys should come to the Sunbelt Ag Expo in Moultrie, GA in October!

We’ve got one of those with duals and a fifth wheel. It’ll pull a loaded hay trailer through any condition. We broke an airline on the trailer and it locked up the breaks on the trailer while we were loaded and we drug it 2 miles across pastures in a foot of snow.

Went to the show, met Spencer and talked to him for a few minutes. Was hoping to talk to you for a bit, but it looked like you were busy with others at the time.

[@jonbratz5671]

There are manuals online for your new truck. If you get a proper hitch made for your 5 ton it will haul grain wagons for you! FYI that truck is 5 ton rated off road at operating speeds. Meaning the capacity is much higher. Enjoy gentlemen!

[@waynejones5239]

The 5ton is rated by if you put a 5ton cylinder straight up over the rear axles and drive at speed off road don't remember what the speed was to qualify for it Once u dump and the bed starts coming down put the dump lever all the way back and the bed will continue to go down and you can start moving slowly till it gets half way down then u can speed up a little the high low on the transfer case use low when you are loaded and it is soft and over rough terrain use 2nd to start out on the flat and empty we used low side when ever hauling off road we moved lots of stuff with them trucks while I was in the national guard for 24yrs and I worked on them also

[@Kioisbetter]

Don't rest your hand on the stick and the clutch don't rest your foot on that either it wears out the gears and the clutch i leard from experience i drove truck for 10 years

[@samsoniteandnotlikethebag9626]

The stick that Spencer tripped on, is not OSHA compliant.

[@michaelgreenfield465]

[@willziesch9345]

Hope this is constructive but like one guy said you can float them gears if you time it right, also try letting off the clutch super slow, you want to let it out til it’s about to bite and then give it just a tiny amount of gas then let the clutch out slow the rest of the way, just like taking off slow on a dirtbike, and something I have a bad habit of and want to save y’all is keeping my hand on the shifter especially in a pickup you want to hold onto it as little as possible or so I am told. Super cool guys
