    Binders on the passenger side only?

    I like that approach....I think they make stuff up too....you can 10 different answers from 10 different DOT cops on the same thing.

    Binders on the passenger side only?

    Binders on one side....maybe for a skidsteer. But anything heavy..won't work and ain't legal!!

    Cat D9T versus highway overpass....

    Thats to bad!! Shoulda read his permit, although I've seen some pretty stupid routing by IDOT, confusing to say the least. I have permits that are in question all the time. They will route you off the interstate through little bo-dunk towns that are worse. Heres a good example in Missouri...

    Pretty slick the way they made it so the counter weight stays down low.

    Deere 450D demolishes Grade School in NJ

    Nice vid! Great job filming!! I thought the same thing on the windshield, he about bit the bullet, very surprised an experienced demo company did not have the cab caged for that very reason. Operator just about had a ton of bricks in his lap. That SetteDucati Photography website is awesome...

    Jeeps and boosters

    Heres my take on it...jeep=axles hooked via 5th wheel stinger= addition of one or more axles at the back of the trailer, not permanently attached but not using a 5th wheel Booster= drop axle on the tractor or the trailer, permanently...

    850zx on 9axle

    Thats some good pictures and some big stuff!! Seen a good size police escort the other day, I guess since you got one in front and they drive too fast they can't give you a speeding ticket? ha ha

    How do you bind the really big stuff?

    This rascal wasn't real heavy but sure was wide! Deere 9630 for pulling scraper pans. Missouri is pretty picky on width, had to have an escort which was fine with me, since you can't see around them tires anyway and I love taking 2 lanes when we get into the 4 and 5 lane interstates, ya pretty...

    How do you bind the really big stuff?

    I imagine them 12 fter's are kinda heavy, aye? I'm using 6fters and they are heavy enough for me. Just started pulling heavy loads recently, Trail King 53fter with a drop axle, KW with a drop axle. About the big as I can go is a Deere 450 with a stinger axle. Kinda fun cause I get to operate...

    Wide Load

    Heres one I pulled today 14 1/2ft wide tractor for pulling pan scrapers....real comfortable using 2 lanes on the interstate but one lane and the shoulder sucks!!

    Eager Beaver light problem

    Good clean spot on the trailer sounds good screwed in and I'd attach a good strong alligator clip(big teeth kind) on the other end and clip that to the truck...additional ground besides the plug, cause that sounds like where the problem is coming from. I've seen Uhaul do that a lot because they...

    Eager Beaver light problem

    IMO.....if the trailer is 10 years old, I'd rewire the whole thing....if its only 5 years old, I'd track it down....but the usual....ground problems, bare wire that is rubbing the frame, light sockets corroded, etc. Trailer wiring is one of those pain in the butts.

    need a piece of equipment moved

    tootlems....thats an unbelievable price.....I would think fuel alone would be 500 bucks from Florida to Houston at 4 bucks a gallon...maybe its not as far as I think it is.
