Thanks Chris for a real great video. Why I say this is because I am just shy of 80 and I did many things that you are doing at your age now. Straps, chains and binders and loading and unloading, when working on the CN railway here in Ontario Canada. Jumping up and down off flat beds and trucks it was a great life but now things have gotten much slower as it will with you. Love your videos. Keep your health and enjoy life.

[@kengarlin1134]

"Officer Hoover will never see this" cracked me up

[@DC9Douglas]

Someone has been watching "Truck and Trailer Tuesday" on Tractor Time with Tim's page lol

[@officerhoover7562]

I love finding those!!!

[@toddreynolds8875]

Watch out letsdig officer Hoover heard that air leak from 5 states away

[@welderboy525]

Douglas DC-9 or dirt perfect. He’s actually good friends with Hoover

[@bigdawg1944]

I found this video to be very moving. Great job Chris.

[@scottgee5689]

Yes it was a "moving' experience

[@waynetharp]

You are such a good Nephew...Keeping the boss mans ride up to par while he is relaxing!😁 I saw some happy cows also...

[@johnapel2856]

Rock & roll. I get it. It's like a joke. 😨 This was an interesting video. No one shows this part of the job very often. Thanks.

[@7884mac]

That cupped tire wear pattern is indicative of a toe-in or toe-out condition. The axle may have been bent at some point.

[@corpnut2906]

My experience with that cupping is tire drag on too tight of turn my trailer I pull is a 48’ conastoga with the tandems set all the way to the rear happens a lot along with a light trailer and having to use brakes hard makes it bounce along with the other issues others have said

[@treeclimbing7798]

Yer poor cameraman, kudos for not falling off on the ride in. He deserves a raise.

[@andysukosd8177]

Never a dull moment, great videos. I am hooked on your channel. Thank you for sharing.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Nice job! Always something to work on. Makes for a long day moving equipment! 👍🏻

[@CRQ5508]

I had a tire wear out like that on my RGN. Replaced it, and it’s replacement wore like that again. Had the entire axle taken apart and found the axle bushings were worn down. I had done all the standard checks and adjustments made before taking the axle apart, such as pressure checks, alignment, balancing, checking of suspension components, etc.

[@nellermann]

Your attitude during adversary is commendable! I work in a totally different industry, but hit similar snags daily with our operations and I struggle to maintain composure and happy or neutral disposition. You are my new inspiration!

[@Dontworryboutit315]

Might as well bring the 220 and 250, get the whole family involved

[@melissadyche8325]

😂 sounds like the plan

[@dewainwoodard4840]

The roller sounds a lot better thanks for sharing Chris have a great day and stay safe out there

[@randallsmith5067]

Glad to hear Tim's voice he's a up and comer

[@stephenkeefer3436]

Holy smoke! That truck has more gauges than some airplanes I’ve been in! . Really wise of ya to check out your rig before you got a load on. I didn’t know those ramps had springs on em. I just thought you were really strong.💪

[@GoBlue79]

When you said "put the hammer down," damn, that Kenworth T880 can really tear up the asphalt!

[@uggy7]

Thanks for sharing Chris.👍👍🇵🇪🐕❤️

[@davidcrane3734]

I don't usually comment because I watch on my TV but had to comment on this one. I thoroughly enjoy all your videos but particularly the ones when you're driving through that beautiful NC country-side. I had to move from NC here to the Dallas Texas area over 30 years ago for my job and have missed it every single day since. I do get back once a year for a couple of weeks to visit my daughter in Cary but cry all the way home when we leave. Keep up the good work.

[@clintonemmert5184]

Good job on backing up there Chris. Lot truck drivers can go up and down the highway all day, but can’t back the truck and trailer up worth crap. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@machinemoverman4614]

Clinton Emmert I used to haul bridge beams, I have backed a mile or two. I tell the young guys, I’ve backed more miles than you drove forward. Lol

[@delcasaleexcavating9508]

I tell all the kids in our volunteer FD who wanna be"driver's" you'd have to drive better in reverse using the mirrors ONLY & no sticking your head out the driver's side window in order to "pass" my driving class ! And 99% of them fail miserably. Go set up traffic cones in a parking lot and practice until you can back up and not hit any cones !!! That's how I learned when I got my articulated license before it was a CDL

[@toddreynolds8875]

Lol. The filter fabric Creeper. We do the same thing

[@nedflora1154]

Nice set up with the truck and trailer. We have a '17 Pete set up real similar would be nice to a tri axle trailer though. Love that automatic Allison too

[@phillipbonner5215]

You must have engaged the flux capacitor to make that Kenworth go that fast. LOL

[@ethanmiles1428]

it must have run out of Pepsi and bananas when he turned lol

[@EvryThingAUTOMOTIVE]

After watching your videos for about 3 years now, I've decided that I want to quit my job, move to N.C. and work for you guys. Never seems to be a dull moment with yalls sense of humor.

[@donbraden8533]

Yep you an definitely give yourself a PROFESSIONAL status on heavy equipment relocation specialist nice job boss man 😎👍👍

[@davestinson5691]

Man that's a nice,well kept up place ur working. Really like the content in this 1 man

[@Dirtmonkey]

Interesting video, thanks for posting !

[@adavazquez3378]

I watch you work and maneuver those haevy duty machine's, let me tell you do an excellent job, your helper is good worker...

[@AntoniEmanuel7328]

Great video. Looks similar to the English country side on a sunny summers day.

[@DirtPerfect]

good job on pre trip hoover would be pround

[@chax2004]

Those roads look so smooth, no potholes.

[@nemo227]

I may have it figured out. When your uncle notices wear on the tires he schedules an out of town trip so you end up changing the tires. It appears innocent enough . . .

[@lumberjaketreeservicellc4002]

I enjoyed the ride on the road grader at mach speed on the back of the trailer. That dump truck is a thing of beauty. Me likey

[@hydraulic-hum]

beautiful countryside through your part of NC..

[@modkartracer3358]

Ole Timmy don’t get in a hurry, he wouldn’t last a day working for me...lol Great job as always Chris!!!!!

[@mjlmbl]

You throw them chains like a pro. Your uncle may just have you do it fromnow on.

[@Drakeziel]

I really want a trailer similar to that one! Goodness!

[@jamesbond9873]

Love the mini grader.

[@janvandenbos7085]

Wow much equipment to move Chris and Tim , tyre problem and brake airline busted....busy day...✌👌😎

[@kerrydagge4397]

Love your sense of humour. I would rock'n'roll with you any day.

[@brianwebber7168]

No wonder your uncle skipped town. Good job driver👍

[@FishFind3000]

He just didn’t wanna get his hands dirty.

[@glendafranz8090]

Love your new jack.

[@bosshogg6030]

Another great and amazing video 👍🏻

[@writerslifewithauthortruma5370]

FYI the rim was bent so it chewed seen it many times, being on the outside and front probibly hit a curb or hole while loaded. Hope this helps.

[@harvey50ok]

Check the alignment on your trailer axles,could be your tire problem.

[@brinkme1772]

Officer Hoover may catch that ABS light though ;)

[@floydfarms1578]

I think there was an air leak near the camera for the trip with the grader lol! Great video on proper Pretrip check and loading and tie down.

[@Crappiestalker]

Nothing more then a pain in the ass to move equipment all day do it everyday. Glad I retired from operator to a truck driver tho I miss running equipment. I feel your pain on changing a tire and you got to have good rubber under ya. Good video

[@HughzieTube]

Always an interesting camera angle that trailer load POV. Make sure you leave the job of getting the tyre changed for John when he gets back.

[@keithdunlap2701]

Man, That New Skid Steer almost sounds like it's electric, it's so quiet.....That's a nice machine..... Another Great one Chris !! Thanks for sharing.... Have a Great Evening !!

[@brucethec8150]

Quick to change a outside tire. Put a 2x4 under the inside tire drive up on it.

[@clydeacor1911]

That really only works on a Budd type wheel when you have both outer and inner lug nuts.

[@dcrahn]

Warp drive works good on that dump truck!

[@oz1vlh]

Falling out off too as seen at the intersection. Very good.

[@leol1682]

Enjoy the video Chris like it and good trucking man .

[@Naviss]

Ears bleeding after that time lapse.... Ouch. Thinking it's all over, Turns volume back up. *Truck makes turn* Ears bleed again.. GG You got me. Sexy T880 though. ;)

[@Blossom_Chops]

I LOVE the banter between u 2 JQ x 🇬🇧

[@stefanaxelsson513]

You have a beutiful farm Chris...

[@davidharris6581]

Looks like I am behind a few videos on the farm. Had not seen the new fence and corral. When do we get a closer tour?

[@kevincosgrove4147]

Most of the time those tires wear like that do to low tire pressure also 2 different tires will make a fund wear and that impact is awesome I have 3 1 in each service truck and 1 in the shop

[@thomasmccourt215]

Strange how the motor-grader sat for months doing sod all and recently it has been a required piece of equipment . Says a lot for your maintenance that when you need them they are available (although you did put a fair amount of work into the old girl) Also when did Jim change his name to John

[@demandred1957]

Axles on your trailer might not be parallel

[@maineman11]

It's not an axle alignment issue like others are saying, as the inside tire and the tires on the opposite side would look the same. Likely a bent wheel.

[@JDSWeather]

Chris You'd make an excellent spokesperson for Milwaukee Tools

[@thejmoneyshow]

my life has been repairs recently, haha - always a joy also, I need to find a partner like you have

[@yt650]

Where are possible and legal a fitting is made called a “push to connect” There are a number of different types obviously metric and SAE and you want the ones if legal in your state that have DOT on them. Instead of fooling around with ferrules and nuts, just wipe the tubing off and stick it in the fitting and the O-ring seals it and the fingers grip it. A little lubrication in the form of petroleum jelly, dish soap or oil in a very slight amount of either on the tubing and it pushes in perfect. The tubing is removable follow the directions. Fast and easy. And assortment of sizes that you use for your tubing for air brakes will get you rolling quickly. If the tubing allows you could cut the bad section out and put a repair connector in between and it probably would take two minutes. I have considered that you may know about this already but if you don’t it’s just something to help you. 60% of all hose and tubing failures are from rubbing.

[@gandjboyd7872]

I bought my 2nd truck a 99 T-600 from MHC Dallas

[@dexhummer1]

Nice..was NCFarm using your cam the other day..

[@gliderider7077]

All you’re missing with that roller and skid loader behind the quad, is a half load of cold mix asphalt and an elderly victim 😂. #gypsypavers

[@ccraig4247]

[@michaelkoop6731]

Love that jack u used. At least u worked smarter and not harder on that. Why wasn't that safety chains hooked up the right way?

[@kb7722]

Blaster should send you some products too!

[@mitsarp]

A little bit of shoulder on those paved roads wouldn’t hurt.

[@LiLGooZ21]

Track it and Pack it is what you were going for I think lol...

[@craignichols8465]

those tires wear like that from all the pressure on them from backing then up on payment they slide so much when turning

[@gl309495]

was that an EMU in the pen next to the ducks??!

[@gingerinventor110]

Hey Chris, Is there enough room to run a path around the rear of your pole barns for a turn-around?

[@MrEst1953]

Extension for inside valves are available and work ..

[@idadho]

Do you try to match tire diameter/circumference? Mismatched tire sets will scuff the smaller tire.

[@jasonking2943]

David's duck have gotten big! So how much do you charge for a job ? ......minus the repairs on equipment. Payments on trucks, equipment and trailers, fuel, time to move equipment, travel time, wear on equipment, insurance, permits, salaries, oil and lube, let's not forget about taxes ...alot of folks say wow 100,000 or 200,000 for one job. While that sounds like alot of money and it is but most fail to remember all the expenses that are paid OUT for what is brought IN.

[@HDWRIGHT409]

We don't get to see her much but damn I love that dump truck it's badass looking.

[@rogertallentire2961]

No rock today. Just roll. er! See what tomorrow brings. All good.

[@jonathanhanmer1760]

Fastest dump truck in n.c. lol.

[@TrailTrackers]

Install valve extenders and you won't have any more problems airing up those inside tires. Just sayin'. ;-) edit: I know you and John like to save money where you can, not unlike any of us really. But I'm warning you now. If you keep lifting up those heavy ass'd ramps like you do, you're gonna be all stove up like I am when you're 55; like I am. For the love of God man get a trailer with a ramp (or ramps) that fold themselves up. You'll thank me when you're older.

[@letsdig18]

That's on the list for the next trailer lol

[@thomasdentler8383]

Just ask Milwaukee for one of them cotontop3 deals!! 😂

[@hotrodhog2170]

Was that the maid pulling up to the house at the end? You have a brake light out on the dump truck also. Officer Hoover will find that one though.

[@digga1973]

hi chris what model Milwaukee impact driver is that you have ? seriously tempted to get one and one of there grease guns to just not sure which models are best ?

[@arizonajames6131]

Just pulling your chain. We know the BIG DEAL works alot

[@wayoutwest4944]

Check with Cotontop3, Milwaukee and Huskvarna give him all kinds of stuff. He has been wearing a Huskvarna sawing suit that looks like it would make a good space suit. I reckon they gave it to him.

[@williamkelley7654]

Be careful with the turbo button on that dumptruck, you were holding it for a bit long.....

[@Todd.Roberts]

Well at least the side wall of that tire was better than the one on my trailer lol

[@fordsure]

Cute trailer, just missing the horses....

[@bosshogg6030]

At 16:22 love the camera angle

[@122yamaharider]

On account of your lobster red shorts tan line id say you guys are getting the Sun us Northerners had last spring and were getting the rain yall had last spring?

[@carlwilliams8354]

When ever we sent a truck to pick up the lowboy and move something quickly we would send a helper with him. Usually had a tire to change first.

[@122yamaharider]

Yall been getting much rain this spring!?

[@jakeschisler7525]

Chris, I hate to complain but it was down right buggy sitting on the road grader. Lol.

[@cleckler2935]

Our trailer wears the same. Idk why either

[@larryehrlich8702]

If you are going to be off by 5 pounds on your air pressure...then always be off 5 pounds high...never low. Why? With low air pressure the side walls are flexing alot. Flexing causes heat and heat leads to blowouts. If you are 5 pounds over pressure, then the center tread will slightly more. Always be at or overinflated!

[@harryhogan-shaw5472]

Love these style of videos keep it up!!

[@ScottTheMarine]

Am I the only one that thought he should have put Eastbound & Down on while rolling down the road? 😁

[@hardhatlife]

haha love it, 💪 👷🏻

[@george8873]

Just curious Chris. Is the bucket holding up better on the new skid steer compared to the old one? Really liked this video, it shows the logistics of you having to move from job site to job site, and how much you have to do to get it done. Anyway, thanks for the video as always.

[@letsdig18]

it wore through at 100 hours, already sent it back

[@george8873]

@@letsdig18 Yikes. Not good at all.

[@MagnusOlssonMalvik]

Is it a EU thing that without Air pressure you wont get anywhere since the breaks are applied without pressure and needs pressure to release?
