I took a double axel box trailer to Georgia. I live in Jacksonville, Fl. Right after the scales in Georgia i got pulled over. The DOT man ask me for my papers and I had everything in a clear pouch. He then asked me what I was carrying in the trailer. I told him, Sailboat Fuel. He then walked back to his truck and grabbed his ticket book. He told me that i was going to get a large ticket, because I did not have those warning signs on the trailer, I told him that I did not need them. He just kept running his mouth and finally asked me to open my back door slowly. I guess he was kinda scared that Sailboat Fuel would jump out and bite him. Once the door was down he looked into the trailer and saw my fuel. Yes, I got him. Hook, Line and Sinker. The trailer was filled with Air. Sailboat Fuel. He was kinda upset that he could not finish writting his ticket. But I got that DOT Inspector. I closed my door and locked it up and drove away. A empty trailer with a lock on it. Air = Sailboat fuel. Now I say that to all Inspectors. State Police, City Police, Small Town Police and DOT Inspectors. Some get mad and some laugh about it. Life sucks sometimes
Watching you using two trucks to get up the hill reminded me of coming back from my Reserve weekend driving from China Lake CA to Hawthorne NV one winter night about 2200. I was surprised when I turned off Highway 395 onto Highway 6, a few miles North of Bishop the road was not to well plowed. I was driving my 1985 GMC K3500 diesel. For safety I pulled the transfer case into 4 wheel high and eased off to about 40-45 mph. Shortly after crossing into Nevada on Highway 6 I crested the small hill before the start of the climb up Montgomery Pass. I could see four way flashers down in the valley really close to the start of the climb, which was the only other vehicle I had seen since Bishop. By now the snow had been packed down into a sheet of ice. As I approached the flashers I discovered an empty two trailer single drive hay hauler. I pulled around and stopped and talked to him. He said he broke traction and could not get it moving again. I told him I had a strap and I would be willing to see if I could get him going, but if we did we could not stop till the hotel/casino at the top. He agreed and thanked me for stopping to help. I hooked my strap to his front tow hook and my hitch. We got moving and went all the way to the top in first gear, I was too scared if I tried to shift I would loose traction. Just after the big left hand curve close to the top, two semi trucks were creeping down the hill slower than we were coming up. As the passed one of the truckers came on the CB and said something to the effect of, "that is the first time I ever seen a little truck pulling a big truck up a hill". The driver I was pulling came on and told them he was empty, a single screw and broke traction on the bottom of the hill. We got to the top and I pulled him deep into the lot with the other trucks who did not want to try going down the hill. He was really thankful I stopped to help him.
I agree on the full tank of fuel. It is rare for me to get below half. A full tank of fuel is cool and easier to pump. A low tank is hot fuel and hard on the in tank fuel pump.
My wife likes to run that shit until the fuels so low the pumps boiling the last bit of fuel left to get enough fumes to keep going. I don't go below a 1/2 tank if i can help it
Great video sam! Can't wait to find out what you did to the new primetech- don't leave us hanging ha ha. I'm sure your not the first. Give us a scoop on that cat diesel vs the cummins in the other primetech just for fyi
My dad used to say "It's cheaper to run on the top half of the tank than the bottom half" meaning when you get to half a tank, fill it up because running out is a huge hassle.
It’s amazing what these trucks can haul. I have put 65k on my F-450 hauling 45-50k weights and it’s beast. I have a new 5500 in order like your new truck but with 4.88’s not sure I should have gone with the max tow package though haha
At (14:00) about you mentioned talking to a dealer about a new truck. You also mentioned that you really want a 40K trailer. Will it be another Diamond C? Would love to see your ultimate tow rig. Will you enlighten us on some of your new plans? Love the channel.
One of those DOT cops in those Ford trucks got me a few months ago heading back home to Nevada with the gooseneck empty from Susanville. He then proceeded to waste his time to perform a level 1 exception on me for nothing. All he came back and said was I need a license plate light on the trailer. He seems bummed out when he realized I had my class A. Jokes on you buddy! Not quit wasting my time let me go lol
Any chance of a video comparing the older PT-175 to the brand new one? We’re in the process of hopefully going to a demo of a new 175, but the $300k price vs a 1,200 hour used 2018 at just a hair over half the amount of money is hard to resist. Thanks and we enjoy your vids!!!
Gosh I love your truck. Really makes me want to turn in my semi and turn my 08 6.7l G-56 6 speed 2500 2wd from a single wheel to a dully and make it capable for towing combined weight of 45,000 pounds.
Towmaster has a Double-Break Beavertail deck-over designed to minimize the high point for excavators and tracked equipment. The ramps and tail are all heavy-duty angle iron and have a hydraulic ramp option.
Always keep your tanks full full full. ESPECIALLY on heavy equipment. Tank n fuel get hot running throughout the day, end of day you shut er down and if there is air space you'll get condensation and in turn water in your fuel....Granddad Always told me to top everything off at end of day.
2:51 ...dude thought you were giving out free donkey rides! CHiPs always doing stings between 124 and 128. I've been coming west with 80k+ a few times needing to get the binders hot through that section :) ....I have gotten all the way over both ways with out touching the breaks (personal challenge) even stopped at the brake check with out using the breaks..LOL..Good stuff
Me and my dad drove all the way from the driveway of the place we are staying in Reston, VA, to the driveway of the place we were going in Orlando, without ever coming to a complete stop. A little different than never touching the brakes, but it was a personal challenge. We made it all the way to the highway without fully stopping, because a had a bunch of perfectly timed lights. So we jokingly said, "at this rate, we'll get home without having to come to a stop," so then we began to take it serious and try it. It was pretty cool. We stopped intentionally 2 times to get fuel and go to the bathroom, but besides that, we never stopped. When we hit highway traffic and when we were off the highway in town, we never stopped.
Every time I would role through that stretch between Bell Rd. and Gold Run, they are always swarming... Unless I am heading up 49 with the hay truck, then they were always on that hwy... always makes ya sweat when they pull behind ya, especially the DOT trucks
Do you find turning down your turner helps ? I know in my 99 I have to put it back to stock to go off road if not it'll boost to hard and bury it's self
How much can a SRW short bed 3500 haul? It could certainly handle a TL12R or a SVL97, right? Long bed dualies are great for hauling, but for everything else they’re a bit much. Shopping for a truck I don’t know if I need to consider the size upgrade.
That load might be lifting the truck off the ground because of the hill climb. Pulling it more over the hitch might work. I wish a truck could tell weight axel to trailer axels difference.
I haul machines long distance for farmers and ranchers. I use a RAM 3500 with a Diamond C 44' goose-neck, Hutch suspension and electric over hydraulic disc brakes. When hauling over passes I sometimes have to stop on a grade to install chains or to check the load. I want to have a dash mounted switch that I can switch on and apply the brakes on the trailer. This would have a red light when activated. I've been stuck on a icy back road before when I lost traction and the whole mess truck and trailer were sliding backwards toward the edge with a nice 100 foot drop to the river. I'm here but I had only the truck parking brake to hold the combo. What are your thoughts on a parking brake for trailers? John Schubert 406 Hot Shot
one thing i don't understand: why equipment manufacturers don't provide more easily accessible tie down points..... that new machine is awesome but why in the hell doesn't it have a couple of tie down points on the back so your chains don't have to touch the tracks or you end up having to crawl up under the machine to attach your chains.... some tractors i move around don't have a single tie down worth a crap, end up dragging chains up over the axles and such. it's not like its a car, it's a piece of work machinery that is expected to be transported often.
When someone gets so close to me that I can't see their bumper any more, I just ease up off the throttle a little (slowly enough that if they're paying attention, they can back off before hitting me) so that instead of 5 Mph over the limit, I'm now comfortably cruising at 7-10 Mph below the limit on the highway... If they back off to a reasonably safe distance, I ease back up to Limit+5...if they get too close again, I ease back down to Limit-10... It doesn't usually take more than 2 or 3 slow downs before they figure out I on;y slow down when they get too close... I'm thinking of getting a "You are NOT a Hemorrhoid so get off my ASS" Bumper Sticker but I haven't found one I like yet...
I do a similar thing, one time (on a small uk road not a highway mind) I stopped entirely for a good 30 seconds just staring at the guy.. he would have had to reverse to manouvre around me. when I moved off.. he got the message that time
Good job Amigo keep it up I like your videos plus you have a exelente attitude and very humble thats why I subscribe to your channel I really enjoy watching and learning from you...thank very much you are AMAZING PLUS AMAZING VIDEOS
How in the World can you be rated at 45k when specs for the truck state 34.8? Oh The STATE says you can't tow more than 45 k!! I think I get it. Wouldn't a 33 k tractor (Volvo) due a better job? Used for about the same cost as a new 5500. HDRV says when they went to a semi, it was so much easier. Those 40+ 5th wheels weigh over 20 k.
19:30 Probably the extra weight of the machine is helping with your traction...that'd be my knee jerk guess. Also I'm curious what you did to the new tool...especially by the end of the vid. lol.
@@VBELTandSON gotcha. I was taking a big ol fat guess. Never know with these newer fancier machines. Best of luck with the new machine and keep up the great videos!
U got me super curious about what happened to that prime...please text me...Im known for making mistakes at times...Sure would love to to make one to our new prime.. Thx
Has any of y’all have a second GEN dodge and have the dash break out because of letting the the parking slam back and hit the stop under the dash? Makes me cringe every time he releases his parking brake and let hit the stop so hard. I rest my foot on the parking brake pedal before I release it.
I didn't see any strap or chain on the mulching head. Isn't that considered an attachment, like a loader bucket or a backhoe bucket? Seems like that might draw attention to a nit-picking DOT guy.
@@VBELTandSON i rather do my own shifting that is just me back when the cummins first hit the ram truck line the auto trans they had would not hold well at all not sure about the new auto trans of today as for the 9 or 10 speed trans that is for just cool factor thing to say i have that not seen it done for some years now the frame my not be wide enough in the 2000 year trucks something else would be nice to try is 2 speed rear end in a dodge like in the straight grain trucks
I might be the only person who actually lifts the safety chains to keep them out of the way. (Not required) Break away cable is hooked to something else not the hitch and you don’t cross your chains on a gooseneck. Lol
@@VBELTandSON they service our concrete pumps. But work on any type of equipment really, they also do mobile service. Just in case you ever need a hand.
Breaking stuff is never fun. When it's not even yours and you have to pay hurts more. Roll with it is all you can do. At least commenting to help the algorithm kick you a few extra cents.
@@MrGoldMember ya, I was thinking more about the brakes and frame of the 6500. I do see your point on powertrain. Dam emissions. He auto convert the old 5500 in to a overland style (single wheels and 42” tires) and used it as his main project grabber. I’d like to see his take on it.

Few want to pay the premium for a nice Towmaster trailer. I don’t believe there is a better steel trailer out there though.

Where are you at 3:00? I think that’s down the street from me. Is that in grass valley ?
Do you charge the customer freight on hauling those big boys? If so, what do you typically charge?
Yes. Cost of fuel you have to charge for hauling into a site. Normally by the hour
While day of hauling to get nothing done sounds like my life sometimes lol
Just curious what kind of tires do you run? Brand, load rating? Just curious. Look like the wheels are 19.5 if I had to guess
Yes 19.5. It’s a 5500 truck. Factory size. Load range G
Where are you located I live in placerville California! I noticed the Sacramento sign!

At :51 if you forget about the gooseneck part and with the right mindset, the trailer looks like its not connected but still magically moving.
So how much better is this machine compared to a asv120 skid mulching? I assume bigger tress and a little faster right
This is worth more that 3 skid steers. You can’t even compare it
@@VBELTandSON yea thats what im getting at, why would you buy this instead of 3 skidsteers?
Purpose built to mulch. Whole machine is tougher and ready to work. This delivers the same effect of 3 skids. Machine will out last skids aswell

what trans is in that truck the heavy hauling you do it would be neat to see you do a eaton fuller 9 or 10 speed transplant to one your trucks
Truck has a g56 in it. Does what I need just fine. New truck is on order. 5500 with an auto

Chains dragging or not crossed over or a detached cable for emergency brakes not on the truck it self and on the hitch will get you fingered.
I might be the only person who actually lifts the safety chains to keep them out of the way. (Not required)
Break away cable is hooked to something else not the hitch and you don’t cross your chains on a gooseneck. Lol
That new Prime Tech is a beast

Is your dad the one who developed those buildings back on Gold Flat Ct?
Nope
Breaking stuff is never fun. When it's not even yours and you have to pay hurts more. Roll with it is all you can do. At least commenting to help the algorithm kick you a few extra cents.
Would you consider a chevy 6500 4x4 . Just wondering
@@MrGoldMember ya, I was thinking more about the brakes and frame of the 6500. I do see your point on powertrain. Dam emissions. He auto convert the old 5500 in to a overland style (single wheels and 42” tires) and used it as his main project grabber. I’d like to see his take on it.
@@MrGoldMember If you go class 7...might as well go class 8...not really much more money or size
@@MrGoldMember Class 7 Peterbilt 330 335 337 ETC....
