    That blows, but from the looks of it at least the dump came down pretty quick

    The fan clutch was totally blown out… didn’t hurt anything but took me a day to figure out what was going on… all fixed now.

    With the long aluminum dump it’s 29,500 lbs.

    With the short dump it’s 31,760 lbs… IMG_2521.jpeg

    The short one I used for one day and sent it to the shop to have the whole suspension replaced. Parts should be in this coming week sometime. I kinda knew these things were junk and paid appropriately. We’ll get this A Frame put back together tomorrow so it will be ready to roll on Monday morning.

    Well it’s been a couple months of runnin…truck is doin good so I felt like it deserved a bath and a new steering wheel. Work has been super slow. I understand I’m new guy and one of the last to get called but I was under the impression it would be busy by now? Oh well this is a year of learning… IMG_2951.jpeg IMG_2923.jpeg

    Don’t feel too bad. It’s pretty slow out here as well. Different gig, but less than 40 hours 2 weeks in a row

    It's been "different" this year out here too. Luckily the largest dirt contractor here in town needs help with all their jobs they have going on.

    Dirt is slow this year

    I’m actually knocking my hydro tank off my truck this week I think.

    Been slow around here for two years now, my tank is sitting empty on my truck, only reason it is still on is because it's a split tank

    Does your long trailer have a water resistant tarp? Like a roll over(side to side) tarp? If so, should be a fair bit of grain, fertilizer, rock etc moving.
