I think inspectors take great pleasure in giving defects. In my decade and a half as an over the road truck driver, I’ve only met maybe a double handful or less of them who I’d say were a bit of all right.
One thing good about the front boom. You can easily see the dripping nozzles all the way across. I run an old SpraCoupe and there’s a blind spot behind you.
I have taken trucks over to inspectors here in WA and they are very thorough in what they do. The way one of the blokes explained to me is, he is the bloke signing that paper to deem the truck roadworthy. If for whatever reason that vehicle is involved in an accident there is no doubt that the most recent roadworthy will be put before the judge as evidence . especially if there was opportunity to capture and rectify the defect before it potentially caused harm, you’d be responsible, bit of bum covering, unfortunately this day an age its absolutely necessary. I can empathise with both parties, especially when the inspectors are usually tied up with a mechanical business which can complete the work in house then provide the roadworthy certification. You might find if you had 5 trucks and all your work went over that same pit things might have been looked upon more favourably.
Gday Henry, you can get away with just putting a joiner where it’s blown on the fold, I’ve had a few blow there, on a couple different nitros , after the weak points gone they seem to be all good , bring on some rain 🌾👍
7:37 Not difficult to test your theory. If the body is the causation the trouble will not move when you swap nozzles around. Something you should have done before complaining to the distributor/manufacture. It takes very little to foul a nozzle. If you have many nozzles dripping it is more logical to believe a contaminant has made it past the strainer/filter. Ultrasonic cleaner can be useful to restore contaminated nozzles.
Another great video mate , had my fair share of regency park testing back in the day 🤬 can’t help but notice you don’t wear a hat , just turned 50, about to go in and get another skin cancer cut out of my noggin , get into the habit of slapping one on 👍
@danielrussell2726 apparently we got the worst inspector there. The guy said all the other ones are pretty down to earth. In saying that, you can't really argue with the brake tester. It says what it says, even the inspector can't change that.
Dont own trucks these days it gone get much harder in the future stick to your farming and working on your farm machinery get contract trucks to move your products and they can have the expense of registration insurance and fuel costs just look at the trucks at the auction yards these days old companies are closing the doors and getting out .
Enjoyed

@@bobuncle8704 correct. I think they enjoy the power and just get defect happy.
@@lockvalleyfarms981 Absolutely
Your channel is great, keep up the good work

In NSW we have to have all our trucks and trailers over the pits every year, it keeps our gear in good shape
Henry , rats , mice , birds and mud wasps give so much work I can do without .
So give thanks to God ,pray with your family before you settle into the four legged dream platform tonight !.
It’s all looking fantastic
👍👍👍 Each day is a new challenge great video keep at it 👍👍👍👍
I think 90% of farmers trucks in WA that only come out of the shed to do harvest wouldn’t pass that inspection

Welcome to the transport industry farmers should stick to farming
Did u boys go 2 the hardest pits or what. I would go over author pits.

Have you had rain.
@@stephenbradbury460 nah mate, nothing on the forecast. Things looking pretty grim
Looks like owning a big rig is a bit like farming - a lot of it is out of your control!
