    I move my 160 on a 3 axle tag. It's very light, about 16-17 tons. Very nice machine, mine is a full time grading machine. Has a 5' grading bucket on a swivel attachment.

    1987 RD686SX. Still drive it now but learned to drive it when I was 14 hauling stone on a private haul road from the quarry to our job.

    With the state wide permits that are on my trucks my tri-axle is good for 70,000 which is about 21.25 tons and my tandem is good for 65,000 which is about 18.75 tons. There are grandfather down state permits that allow a tri-axle to have a gross weight of 79,000 which gives most 24-25.5 tons. I have a friend with a very light International with an aluminum body that is legal at 27-27.5 if it will fit. You had to have permits before they started the state wide permits in order to get the grandfather rights and permits. That's just my understanding, so if someone knows if I'm right or not please let me know.

    Thank you! I couldn't imagine life or the business without the shop to be honest. That is only a little bit of it. We also keep our International mechanics truck, 2 F-350 utility body trucks, and an F-450 utility truck in there as well. We have a second small shop that we started out in with a 550 flat bed and a 350 pick up in too. Other then the equipment and the trailers, the only thing that is kept outside is my single axle dump which is unfortunate but I just don't have the space for it inside.

    Thank you, no Stony Point is in the Hudson Valley. I'm right by West Point.

    Thank you for the compliment. I take a lot of pride in them. My father likes dirty trucks because it means they are working. While I can agree with that, I'm the main one driving right now and I like driving them when they are clean. The RD and the CL are always head turners.

    My 3. Today ended bath time for the 3. It's real hard keeping them clean this time of the year. Got to take care of them if I want them to take care of me.

    The thought has crossed my mind about ours. Would defiantly be cool!

    Was talking to a friend of mine today. They came up with it on a set up that was only permitted for 130,000 I think he said and it went over the scales at 224,000.

    Saw this out there last week. Very impressive to see one on a trailer like that.

    Thanks Barry, that's much appreciated!

    Thanks! I really appreciate it!

    Wow that's a real shame but as long as nobody got hurt trucks can be fixed or replaced.

    Would be nice if Lund would make a small run of these. Would make things much easier!

    Looking for a fiberglass Lund visor for my R model. Not really a fan of the stainless ones or a drop visor on a classic truck. Let me know what you guys have! Thanks, Victor

    Truck looked good yesterday Rob!

    I've seen them running out of West Haverstraw Tilcon. They are spotless during the work day too.

    That was a sad time when that plant shut down.

    2007 CL-733 Cummins ISX. Washed it today and on a cruise afterwards the lightning bolt on the dash would come on then go off every couple of minutes. The truck ran fine, no power problems, gauges all worked with no problems. Only the exterior was washed, nothing inside got wet. I know it's vague but is there anyone that can tell me what's wrong? Or is there a way I can pin point what it wrong? Thanks, Victor

    With a boom that long they can't put a big bucket on it. When you're at full reach a large bucket will cause the machine to tip over. They could use it for unloading a barge. Around here they have a Hitachi with that size boom on it in Tilcon Haverstraw that they use to clean out the retention ponds for the quarry. It could possibly be used for that too.

    Very nice, best of luck with it!
  23. VPZINC
    Yup that's the one. Lol and yes they look extremely similar.

    Morano is their own independent company. The Pete tri axles have triple lift pistons on the bodies. Morano was the company that did all the site work for the Provident Bank Baseball Park in Ramapo.

    Nice truck! Wishing you the best of luck with it!
