Oh, and fun with electricity. Cant beat it. I have gotten more comfortable with it since I have been working with the ready mix plants.

Agree on having the right spec’d truck. We got guys that borderline fight for the truck with the arm rest on the right side of the seat. 🤦🏻

Mack powered OshKosh front loads are a thing

We had this happen at Ritchie Bros while we were there picking up a truck. We drained the air and we aired it up off one of the other trucks and she came to life.

Since we have completely hijacked this thread. I called Mark the other day and asked if he could get some loads to Lowell “ yeah, got 2 pulling into Thornton now” can’t beat it. Stop in some time, I was the one taking a pic of ya going by the other day.

The main problem is that in Illinois you are only legal with I believe with 6.75 yards in a front. Where as a rear you can haul 9yards. With that being said the big companies run 10 yards in both. We don’t like making untimely monetary deposits to the government, so we run legal.

I was very positive about it. The problem was that it was to tall to fit under the plant to load it. The way our weight laws are in Illinois, you can’t haul enough on it legally to get real excited about. Essentially you are making the contractors job easier with less manpower and not getting anymore $$ for the Crete.

Occasionally, but tend to use Sid Kamp when we need help. But you never know.

I have no experience with the 3 position button like this one. The one I worked on many years ago had the splitter on top and the range selector plunger mounted on the stick. I was 16 or 17 at the time.
