How come most everyone never used the trailer like it was designed to disperse weight theirs widen brackets on the trailer to turn out and add planks so load sits on the wider trailer

[@dotbearwoodworking9342]

Whoa !!! Hold up on that carwash gentlemen!!! I love the phrase "Me and Matt did some math!! I have a little different of an outcome by my calculations lol! 1/2 Working Load Limit required to be covered. 393.106(d) 393.130 Securement of Large Equipment (10,001+ lbs.) 4 independent securement device per corner 1 securement device over boom/bucket. You get 50% of the Working load limit from the load to machine (393.106(d)(1)) You get 100% of the Working load limit for a securement on the bucket attached from one side to the other side (393.106(d)(3)) So let's do some DOT math!! 3/8 grade 70 chain WLL of 6600 lbs. Binders WLL 9600 lbs. Must use the weaker of the two WLLs 55,000 Weight of 210 27,500 Working Load Limit required to be covered. 6,600 x 4 = 26,400 26,400 x.50% = 13,200 WLL for the four corners. 6600 WLL for the chain and binder over the boom/bucket 13,200 + 6,600 = 19,800 total WLL SO ....... 19,800 WLL when 27,500 WLL NEEDED..... OOS!!!! on the 210 load securement!!! Let's take a look at Bubba !!! Volvo A 30 46,000 Operating Weight 23,000 WLL needed to be covered 6,600 x 4 = 26,000 26,000 x.50% = 13,200 four corners WLL 13,200 +6,600 (center chain) = 19,800 SO >>> 19,800 total WLL when 23,000 WLL was needed.... OOS on the Bubba Dump MOVE!!! 393.130 Articulated vehicles require minimum of 4 corners and the center articulation secured as well. No wonder you take so long to post so the virtual tickets get lost in the mail!!! So 2 OOS loads for not enough working load limits, Faded Signage, rolled thru a stop sign, improper use of horn .... what's up with that left light on trailer??

[@DobbyTFE]

I think you may need to make Mike some signs to stick on each piece of equipment so he knows how and where to secure them properly :D

[@drgills]

The ones commenting upgrade on the truck and trailer don’t fully understand the cost of a newer truck and trailer! As well as lacking an appreciation for the truck you have! That Mack is built better than any new truck on the market and cheaper and easier to work on!

[@DirtPerfect]

Agree

[@fredcroad331]

Me to, we have the same truck. Just a bit shorter to haul homes, and a different hitch of course.

[@kenwillis8487]

I learned how to drive, hauling hay and grain in old Mack and International trucks. Also learned how to turn wrenches on them! If I was starting a business hauling equipment I would look for a low mileage old Mack even if money was no concern!

[@kenthammarstrom8255]

have to agree

[@bradleyschroeder1738]

Not to mention all this new stuff has all them emissions on them.......in the truck world are nothing but added maintenance and down time, not worth the down time in my opinion

[@maxobara1496]

The UPS truck head to head had Joshua yelling “MORE”!!!!😂 You made his morning for me Mike!! Great video👍🇺🇸

[@CMDSR]

Really like these haul vlogs DP. The sound of the Jake brake through those open pipes is awesome. This one also includes myth busting , comic relief and mad backing skills don’t get better than that.

[@DMAN10]

I love the sound of the Mack! These new trucks are emission controlled and muffled to death. Old school FTW! 💪🏻 Thanks for sharing DP!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@Kriss_L]

I had an '03 F-350 7.3, and they had added so much sound dampening you had a hard time hearing if the engine was running or not.

[@rons3103]

And I thought I mention somewhere in previous comments, it sure would be nice to install charging stations in the shed (I know, I'm spending your money)! 😁😁Hey you might be able to install some solar panels on the roof to reduce your energy cost as well!.👍👍

Great job fella. Ain't many people can back up a truck that good.

[@eaglerider1826]

Dang it Mike , you had me spitting coffee from laughing again when you pushed that UPS truck .

[@Crewsy]

I’m sure it only appears like DP was pushing the brown truck. The brown truck company would be quite upset and the driver at risk if they really went head to head. 😉

[@eaglerider1826]

@@Crewsy Watching the video you can tell that the UPS truck was in neutral and the driver's foot off of the brakes . If not you would have seen the rear tires sliding . Both drivers seem to be good friends .

Well Mike. The stickers look good on the 210. So pleased you can move your own fleet around. And the purrr from the mac , just need bubba dump to have it. Looking forward to the vid's

[@csnelling4]

Love the exhaust tone of the Mac ,music to the ears . Thanks for the video guys 👏👏👏👏🍺🍺👌🇬🇧

[@jacoblarsen6974]

Been truckin' over 30 years. Great vid. Just wanted to comment on your philosophy of what equipment you keep. I notice you only get what you need, and don't waste money on a bunch of fancy stuff and keep up what you have. I think that's a great philosophy. Will bid jobs according to my experiences and the size of equipment I have. Great vid. 😎😎

[@BlueDually4x4]

30:15 I think I saw a guy hauling equipment two days ago with just the solution you might look into. Passed a heavy hauler heading south on I-15 with a 644 John Deere loader and he had those monster J hooks like tow trucks use to hook to the eyelets on the loader. Not sure on the J hook's weight rating but that might be worth looking at as an option, save you from cutting up the machine and probably useful for tow hooks on combines that get stuck in the mud.

[@NotJustaTool]

I'm super impressed with DP driving that BIG rig and trailer down those narrow Indiana roads. Good thing the traffic is light. A+ Cheers!

[@rhadden8976]

Mike, that growl that Mack makes when using the Jake brake is music to my ears. Just love it. Great video and thanks for sharing.

[@larrywilliams3620]

Bubba dump to the rescue again! Best purchase you've ever made😍😄😎

[@Toddheenan802]

Dude this behind the scenes stuff is super interesting to a non-operator like me. Subscribed!

[@leer-winnobbeefarms2131]

Move'n equipment is the part I hate and it's also potentially the most dangerous. I hauled my Ford 6610 tractor on the dozer trailer to the tire shop yesterday for two new inner tubes and exchanging the calcium fill for the non-corrosive fill. On the way there, about ten vehicles ahead of me, a tractor trailer passed a buggy, on a hill, with on-coming traffic clearly insight, and only by the grace of God - did everyone go home that day safe and sound. The on-coming car was missed by inches and the buggy by the same. People just don't get it: horses are not rational beings. They are fight and flight creatures. All the passengers in the buggy could have been killed and the horse gravely injured. Here's the hard part, just a few miles down the road: a different driver did almost he same thing. Great video! Thanks, Mike and Matt. Lee

[@kevinmccarthy1076]

That was fun to watch! People don't understand how much prep work goes on before the start of a job.

[@Highstranger951]

Mike, I know you won’t believe me because nobody does until I show them but I have a NoCo GB150 jumper pack in my service truck. It has started our Kenworths with 4 dead batteries from drivers leaving the lights on on multiple occasions. I was very skeptical myself but it has truly been a blessing having that thing. We have the Napa lunchbox jump packs too, they cant hold a candle to the NoCo GB150. I guarantee it will start anything 12v you have

[@jamesfurlong8727]

That Jake Brake really lets people know that you are coming!

[@stevendegonia]

A very Nice Long, Looooong, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG Jake Brake pull!!! I love the sound of those pipes and now I'm in Heaven! I still say you need Aaron to weld you up a duplicate exhaust for Bubba Dump and give him the same sound!

[@martineastburn3679]

Maybe Bubba Dump needs a magnet attach video camera for the hood pointing downish to guide on. Easy on and Easy off. Easy use.

[@mainermikesforestry]

That's a beautiful sounding Mack, good ol American made truck

[@kmatch1]

Off center hood a problem loading? Do what row crop farm tractors do - give it a short hood ornament in the center. Most farm tractors come with a small raised rib/ornament on the hood center for lining up across a field.

[@danne77sthlm]

Haha, I laughed so hard at Mat´s spontaneus outburst "Look, it´s a Bubba Dump!" and sounding happy as a kiddo on christmas eve 😁

[@martymclamb5750]

Old Mack rolls on nicely

[@aaronspicer949]

We changed the air connections on our RGN/ low boy from quick connects to glad hands and the brakes seem to respond allot quicker and it's easier to deal with, cheaper to replace as well. May want to look into it if you ever got the itch.

[@DirtPerfect]

I have thought about that

[@bhoover7562]

That is a great idea!!

[@denistaramasso9251]

A turbo can rotate either way. When I was in the air force the only time we covered the stacks is for rain.

[@mitchs323]

In 1976 or 77, the WVDOH purchased some Ford A62 loaders, after a while we started losing turbos on a few of them. When Ford started checking, they found that when the machines were loaded, 2 to a truck, one was facing forward, one to the rear. The ones facing the rear were the only ones that had to have the turbos replaced. After checking with the trucking company they found that the stacks weren't being covered. They started covering the stacks and the problem disappeared.

[@charliehill6914]

My most memorable heavy haul load was a "Big A" agricultural spreader truck with high floatation tires. Over 3' of rear tire hanging off of each side of the trailer and less than 1' of tire actually on the trailer. Almost the entire trailer deck width covered by the front tire. Your chains better be right and tight!!

Lowboy trailers like the one you have are much easier to load equipment on than the old style that loaded from the back that my grandpa had to haul his dozers back in the 60s and 70s. I love the sound of your Mack Truck and it handles those heavy loads very well.

Make a paint mark on the hood where its centered up on the trailer. That along with the spotter can help prevent oppsies.

[@DirtPerfect]

Don’t work can’t set the trailer

[@hometownchico]

Hey Mike, I've drove truck for over 40 years and the one of the things I learned along the way was not to punch the throttle after each shift. Why? It'll save you replacing your universal joints and carrier bearings and maybe a drive-line or two. Unnecessary torque destroys universal joints. So easy into the throttle after each shift and save you problems down the road or on the side of the road. You won't find that in any preventative maintenance handbook. 💪🏻👍

[@stevencroon]

😀😀Always a good day, when there's a good start!!

[@trevorkerr9536]

Hi Mike. Trev from Queensland, Australia. Just like to run this past you and get your thoughts...years ago when I first began to "float" both trucks and machinery around, I was instructed that if the "floated" item was fitted with a turbo engine and its exhaust was facing the direction of travel, then I had to make sure that the exhaust outlet was securely covered (either duct-tape, or piece of rag secured with duct-tape) to prevent that exhaust outlet from scooping in air. As you know, when an engine stops, sometimes both valves in a cylinder can be slightly open at same time, and this allows that scooped in air (which is pressurised due to speed of travel) to flow backwards through the engine, which will then cause the turbo to spin without lubrication (due to said engine being stopped) and therefore damage the turbine bushes/bearings. Being mechanically minded, this made perfect sense to me. What are your thoughts on this? I enjoy your videos. Cheers to you and your family...Trev.
