    hauling extra excavator bucket

    I put the extra in the bucket if it locks up tight against the boom(with chains over it)..If not I put it behind the machine..If its a permit load, at least in Ohio you better not have a extra bucket at all.

    A little tall!

    I guess a long time ago it would have been towable. I moved the whole plant, it took 2 days. Point a to point b was only 200 feet but it was one of situations where you couldnt get there. It was about a 1/2 mile the way I had to go.

    DOT INSPECTIONS - insane

    I agree I adjust my own brakes all the time. With the weight I haul I want to know they are right and not depend on a mechanic that forget something during a service. I use my engine brake ALOT probably why my trailer brakes lasted over 4yrs on the lowboy I pull.

    DOT INSPECTIONS - insane

    If this wreck happened at I-77 and St route 82 in ohio quite a few years ago. I cleaned up that wreck. It was one of the saddest yet most infuriating wreck I ever worked. I could not believe how out of adjustment the brakes were in that dump when we finally got it back upright and on the road...
