The neighboring department to ours just got a brand new 2019 Pierce Arrow XT Ascendant 102 foot tiller that was delivered in october and placed in service in Feburary ! It's a beautiful machine and really stands out, everyone everywhere loves it, hope to catch it soon !
Craig Mariengallieo. Ciao Paisano from Sicily. How ya doin? I will take a tiller over a tower or a rear mount anytime. I still remember many years in Washington D.C. , New York City and Los Angeles seeing the tiller trucks responding and getting around those tight streets with no problem. God Bless.
@@davidfrehlini5052 Ciao my friend. Yes i agree i will take a Tiller any day. I Remember my first couple of time training.. my mind wanted to go the way the tractor went lol then when i would get in my car the first few time i would get messed up all over again Ha. but i gotta tell ya nothing better than bouncing along back there... we use to use the Suicide Knob on the wheel back then.. I see alot of tiller guys not using them anymore i always thought i had more control with it but to each his own. Being old now i would still like to just one more time drive a tiller even if its around a parking lot just to see if i still got it... Be safe David. Craig
I agree scott those guys in FDNY they are the Best... Ive seen some of JJ's Tiller footage Damn those guys have some serious Tight and i mean Tight Spots.
Craig Mariengellieo Great point sir..I got lost in the late seventy’s with a 48 ft dump trailer full frame and in the middle of manhattan where my delivery was supposed to be to long story short......Total night mare. Never again
Always liked tiller trucks. Would run after Chelsea, Mass. Tiller truck when it went by the house. A couple of times. My babysitter or her boyfriend would have to hase my down. My dad got it so did my older brother. They would take down to the fire station and look @ the trucks. Got to sit in the tiller truck a couple of times.
The Tillers seem to have a character all their own! It is hard not to give a personality to each one. Especially when they howl in the language of their species!! 😆👍🏼😃🚨🚒
david frehlini oh yes and it’s still their slogan when my uncle was assigned there in the mid 1980s I remember he brought me a toy tiller fire model for Christmas and had a coworker to put the slogan and logo on it. I still have it today!!!
@@THEMAJESTIRIUM1 I appreciate it John , Thank You ! I hope your doing ok too during this crazy pandemic , I can't wait until it's all over & everything's back to normal instead of the Twilight Zone that were in right now ! 😁
THEMAJESTIRIUM1. Thank you very much for posting this video. These tiller trucks are the best. They beat those towers and rear mounts any time. God Bless.
It surprices me they dont just start blaring the sirens and horns as they come out, in my city they're going to blast horns and even ram you out of the away if theres an emergency, especially if its a legit fire call. If you hear a fire truck honking at you, get out of the way!
On the west coast I see a lot of two axle hook and ladders. I believe all of FDNY hook and ladders are single axle. Is one better than the other. As a firefighter I never worked on a hook and ladder.
Alot of it has to do with weight . Alot of West coast companies have a pump on the tractor as well and also bridge and road weight limits , more axles spreads the load . The single rear axle makes for a little better turning
Is FDNY moving to tillers, last time I visited NYC they had all straight 3 axl ladder trucks. Back on the west coast all we have is tillers for ladder trucks
Uh-oh! Here comes "The Chinatown Dragon!" It wouldn't surprise me if certain idiots today would think that's racist instead of an example of area pride.
gaming kid I live in New Orleans, and the ambulances for New Orleans EMS all have those sirens too. The ambulances themselves even look menacing with the caution stripe on the font bumper, and the utility style bumper.

Hey, where the RAC at? LOL Keep safe boss
HAHA! NO RAC IN THIS STEVEN BUT THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
Real Trucks 'bend in the middle'.
HAHA! COOL! THANKS SO MUCH.....
@@THEMAJESTIRIUM1 👍
I’m a little surprised that operating the tiller hasn’t been cyber digitized roboticized.
I KNOW RIGHT! THANK YOU! ;o)
It surprices me they dont just start blaring the sirens and horns as they come out, in my city they're going to blast horns and even ram you out of the away if theres an emergency, especially if its a legit fire call.
If you hear a fire truck honking at you, get out of the way!
FDNY tillers are cool 😎
THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
It must be so cool being the rear driver
IT IS INDEED! THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)

NO, THEY ALWAYS HAVE HAD A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TILLERS. THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
I've always wondered if the rear tiller steering could be locked straight to allow driving/moving the truck with just one driver. Anybody?
I WILL IMAGINE SO.....THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
I WILL IMAGINE SO.....THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
It can be when it's being towed or worked on at the shops . U believe the shops made their own lock as seagrave doesn't provide one
Sounds just like my cat
OK.....THANKS SO MUCH......
@@THEMAJESTIRIUM1 just a joke bro🤣 them trucks are huge
wow a rumbler siren on a firetruck
YUP......
Is Kramer steering one of those?
HAHA! PERHAPS! THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
What was the longest aerial ladder ever used by NYFD?
SADLY, IDK.....SORRY.....
B W probably 100’
104 foot they were called super ladders there were only 2 of them
*Okay kids its tiller time!*
YUP.....
Why do the tiller driver doors always seem to be open?
IDK....SORRY.....
Real trucks bend in the middle haha
HAHA! SWEET! THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
Uh-oh! Here comes "The Chinatown Dragon!" It wouldn't surprise me if certain idiots today would think that's racist instead of an example of area pride.
I HEAR YA! HEHEHE! THANKS SO MUCH.....
Whats the ladder length?
110 FEET.....
See a relly good one mate hove a good day mate form Greg Bouchard hove a good day mate form Greg Bouchard hove
THANKS SO MUCH! ;o)
Pa400 its the best no? Nice vidéo
Yes, thanks
Hard to drive fire truck.
YES, IT CAN BE IN THE BIG CITY.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
Nyc FD is nown for q-siren almost every truck has q-siren
OK
gaming kid I live in New Orleans, and the ambulances for New Orleans EMS all have those sirens too. The ambulances themselves even look menacing with the caution stripe on the font bumper, and the utility style bumper.
In Europe ladder trucks are approx half the length . . . with the same ladder length and only 1 driver . . . .
COOL! THX.
Am I the only one who got blinded at 3:09
IDK.....
Do companies still build them?
YES.....
Hmm I wonder if anyone will see this well the one person who likes will be a billionaire BTW Don’t risk It I would like if I were you
WHAT?
Nice
Thanks
