    I love that you spend quality time and get Emma involved. You're a GOOD Dad!

      I feel the same way, I love seeing a father spending time with their children and you never know if that child will help their father in the business when they get older. Emma did a great job helping out that put a smile on my face.

      Definitely
      I did the same thing with my kids when they were younger when I worked locally
      Definitely fun times

    They are good strong trucks Todd, not the most powerful, but they have decent power, and very reliable trucks, treat it good and it will treat you good, I wish you all the luck in the world with it!!

    I drove Tractor Trailers for 40 years in length from 65 feet to 72 feet long, A friend of mine had a 95 tri axel Mack Dump Truck,The 1st time I drove it, I had to back up in an intersection, turns out, you need to start turning left a block before you need to turn lol Enjoyed seeing you teach your Daughter,Great job!!

    Hi Todd, you are an excellent Father as you try and spend as much time with your daughter as possible and you get 💯% of my respect for that sir and please keep the content of your videos as excellent as they can be and I will look forward to seeing your next video.

    It’s just possible you have the cutest, most adorable daughter in the state. And I certainly think it’s no secret that she has one hell of a father. You certainly make the most of your time together and we can see she is definitely a Daddy’s girl. She was certainly enjoying herself when you let her captain the excavator; an experience she’ll treasure the rest of her life. It’s times like this that make the relationship so precious and every time I see you two together, my heart melts. Let’s face it, any customer who meets her along with you would be well-disposed to consider you strongly for the job. As with your optimism, her adorability is infectious. Together you two are an unbeatable combination.

    Nice to see you sharing time with your daughter. I did the same with my adopted granddaughter - took her to Search and Rescue training in her car seat, and continued that for years. The fire chief took a dim view of me taking her out on calls in the brush truck, but he was just worried about liability. She's now just about to turn into a teenager, but still enjoys the memories. Emma will be leaps and bounds ahead of her peers in having common sense because of the time you spend with her.

  • @kubotajordan9502
    @kubotajordan9502 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Enjoyed the video. Especially the OJT part on walking and loading the hoe.Good job on idling down the engine on the hoe while loading. Also explaining shifting gears between loaded & empty and turning.I used to drive a 2 stick mack dump 5 on one stick & H-L-R on the other. She would only do 58 loaded or empty. The only truck I ever drove you could shift gears going backwards. Worked out good going through a boggy spot you could get up a good head of steam. Also enjoy seeing you bringing Emma with you seeing what you do. My grandmother was named Emma you don't hear that name much anymore. For those of us that aren't in the saddle anymore it bring back old memories. job well done Todd!!!

  • @billdavidsonn8jxo781
    @billdavidsonn8jxo781 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Its good that you are teaching your children how to do things. She will benefit from that for all her life. Macks don't turn tight. You should try tight corners with a Mack without power steering. Dove them like that for 20 years. Old drivers hints; "never drive into some place you have to back out of" Backing in to traffic is an accident waiting to happen.

  • @drtl8mdl

  • @livingstonexcavation732
    @livingstonexcavation732 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Ol Red sounds like a good name if someone hasn't already mentioned it. I had a ford L8000 with a 8LL in it and it shifted out good around 1200 rpm on the low side and about 1500 rpm on the high side. Two different motors though. Rpm range could differ a little bit from engine- engine. Just throwing that out there. Have a good one TODD

    Todd look into adjusting the bump stop bumpers on front axle it will allow you a bit more turning radius

  • @rtwllc4793
    @rtwllc4793 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a mack Eaton10 speed metric and im new to driving. I double clutch all my gears up and down. What has helped me the most is progressive shifting Low gears low rpm. Normally dont use 1 unless in sugar sand. but it would be something like. 1 Clutch out then clutch in right into 2 Or around 1000 rpms. 2nd 1100 , 3 1200, 4 1300, 5 1450 to 1550. Click up, Run full rpms in the high range.

  • @justkeepingitreal7768
    @justkeepingitreal7768 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Pre select that low to high split. Your synchronizer will thank you. You did it when you pulled out of the shop it looked like but after you made the Austin Powers turn you didn't.
    You won't have any issues with the 315's. In my area we prefer 425's and 445's and have no issues with handling.

    it’s not turning well because it’s got floaters up front, their terrible for turning. make sure you preselect your range selector, don’t do it in neutral. 1850-1200 shift range, mack’s hang for a second before dropping rpm, wait for it, she’ll slip in like butter.

    You would have to be
    maxed out on weight.
    For the truck to go straight
    though a curve. Those
    flotation tire have got a
    much larger foot print on
    the road. Just drive it with
    respect.
