Thanks Chris for a real great video. Why I say this is because I am just shy of 80 and I did many things that you are doing at your age now. Straps, chains and binders and loading and unloading, when working on the CN railway here in Ontario Canada. Jumping up and down off flat beds and trucks it was a great life but now things have gotten much slower as it will with you. Love your videos. Keep your health and enjoy life.
I had a tire wear out like that on my RGN. Replaced it, and it’s replacement wore like that again. Had the entire axle taken apart and found the axle bushings were worn down. I had done all the standard checks and adjustments made before taking the axle apart, such as pressure checks, alignment, balancing, checking of suspension components, etc.
I don't usually comment because I watch on my TV but had to comment on this one. I thoroughly enjoy all your videos but particularly the ones when you're driving through that beautiful NC country-side. I had to move from NC here to the Dallas Texas area over 30 years ago for my job and have missed it every single day since. I do get back once a year for a couple of weeks to visit my daughter in Cary but cry all the way home when we leave. Keep up the good work.
Your attitude during adversary is commendable! I work in a totally different industry, but hit similar snags daily with our operations and I struggle to maintain composure and happy or neutral disposition. You are my new inspiration!
My experience with that cupping is tire drag on too tight of turn my trailer I pull is a 48’ conastoga with the tandems set all the way to the rear happens a lot along with a light trailer and having to use brakes hard makes it bounce along with the other issues others have said
Good job on backing up there Chris. Lot truck drivers can go up and down the highway all day, but can’t back the truck and trailer up worth crap. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I tell all the kids in our volunteer FD who wanna be"driver's" you'd have to drive better in reverse using the mirrors ONLY & no sticking your head out the driver's side window in order to "pass" my driving class ! And 99% of them fail miserably. Go set up traffic cones in a parking lot and practice until you can back up and not hit any cones !!! That's how I learned when I got my articulated license before it was a CDL
After watching your videos for about 3 years now, I've decided that I want to quit my job, move to N.C. and work for you guys. Never seems to be a dull moment with yalls sense of humor.
Man, That New Skid Steer almost sounds like it's electric, it's so quiet.....That's a nice machine..... Another Great one Chris !! Thanks for sharing.... Have a Great Evening !!
Holy smoke! That truck has more gauges than some airplanes I’ve been in! . Really wise of ya to check out your rig before you got a load on. I didn’t know those ramps had springs on em. I just thought you were really strong.💪
Nice set up with the truck and trailer. We have a '17 Pete set up real similar would be nice to a tri axle trailer though. Love that automatic Allison too
It's not an axle alignment issue like others are saying, as the inside tire and the tires on the opposite side would look the same. Likely a bent wheel.
I may have it figured out. When your uncle notices wear on the tires he schedules an out of town trip so you end up changing the tires. It appears innocent enough . . .
Where are possible and legal a fitting is made called a “push to connect” There are a number of different types obviously metric and SAE and you want the ones if legal in your state that have DOT on them. Instead of fooling around with ferrules and nuts, just wipe the tubing off and stick it in the fitting and the O-ring seals it and the fingers grip it. A little lubrication in the form of petroleum jelly, dish soap or oil in a very slight amount of either on the tubing and it pushes in perfect. The tubing is removable follow the directions. Fast and easy. And assortment of sizes that you use for your tubing for air brakes will get you rolling quickly. If the tubing allows you could cut the bad section out and put a repair connector in between and it probably would take two minutes. I have considered that you may know about this already but if you don’t it’s just something to help you. 60% of all hose and tubing failures are from rubbing.
Nothing more then a pain in the ass to move equipment all day do it everyday. Glad I retired from operator to a truck driver tho I miss running equipment. I feel your pain on changing a tire and you got to have good rubber under ya. Good video
Ears bleeding after that time lapse.... Ouch. Thinking it's all over, Turns volume back up. *Truck makes turn* Ears bleed again.. GG You got me. Sexy T880 though. ;)
Strange how the motor-grader sat for months doing sod all and recently it has been a required piece of equipment . Says a lot for your maintenance that when you need them they are available (although you did put a fair amount of work into the old girl) Also when did Jim change his name to John
Most of the time those tires wear like that do to low tire pressure also 2 different tires will make a fund wear and that impact is awesome I have 3 1 in each service truck and 1 in the shop
Officer Hoover he’s not going to bust that tri axle in NC he’d be good, even if the drum was full of water as long as he stays off the interstate, doubt he would even exceed load rating on tires with it being a tri axle, long trailer to bridge the weight, glad to see he did all 4 corners lol
Install valve extenders and you won't have any more problems airing up those inside tires. Just sayin'. ;-) edit: I know you and John like to save money where you can, not unlike any of us really. But I'm warning you now. If you keep lifting up those heavy ass'd ramps like you do, you're gonna be all stove up like I am when you're 55; like I am. For the love of God man get a trailer with a ramp (or ramps) that fold themselves up. You'll thank me when you're older.
David's duck have gotten big! So how much do you charge for a job ? ......minus the repairs on equipment. Payments on trucks, equipment and trailers, fuel, time to move equipment, travel time, wear on equipment, insurance, permits, salaries, oil and lube, let's not forget about taxes ...alot of folks say wow 100,000 or 200,000 for one job. While that sounds like alot of money and it is but most fail to remember all the expenses that are paid OUT for what is brought IN.
On account of your lobster red shorts tan line id say you guys are getting the Sun us Northerners had last spring and were getting the rain yall had last spring?
If you are going to be off by 5 pounds on your air pressure...then always be off 5 pounds high...never low. Why? With low air pressure the side walls are flexing alot. Flexing causes heat and heat leads to blowouts. If you are 5 pounds over pressure, then the center tread will slightly more. Always be at or overinflated!
Just curious Chris. Is the bucket holding up better on the new skid steer compared to the old one? Really liked this video, it shows the logistics of you having to move from job site to job site, and how much you have to do to get it done. Anyway, thanks for the video as always.
Great video Chris. I have a question for you. Do you have to have to have a Bill of Lading for everything you guys haul? I know freight haulers do but I was wondering if you have to with moving machines around.
Check with Cotontop3, Milwaukee and Huskvarna give him all kinds of stuff. He has been wearing a Huskvarna sawing suit that looks like it would make a good space suit. I reckon they gave it to him.
hi chris what model Milwaukee impact driver is that you have ? seriously tempted to get one and one of there grease guns to just not sure which models are best ?
@@delcasaleexcavating9508 the last one was straight drive, this truck will go more places without spinning out than the old truck plus it has way faster cycle times
Alright ! I totally understand.... I'm a volunteer firefighter and we've got nothing but Allison automatics in all of the trucks now days but that is because 99%of the people who drive them don't know how to drive a manual transmission especially the younger kids....you have to be 21 to drive fire apparatus in NJ and some of the rigs weigh over 80,000 and they don't need a CDL if you could believe that ?? Crazy stuff.. anyway... thanks for your response & explanation... Tom
And that's why all of my guys have Class A CDL's, they each get to haul equipment as well as run it, and I save money by not having to hire a designated truck driver to haul everything
You sound like one of the better outfits. The second a potential employer sees a Class A license, that's where they bend you over every day of the week

Yes it was a "moving'
experience

"Officer Hoover will never see this" cracked me up
Someone has been watching "Truck and Trailer Tuesday" on Tractor Time with Tim's page lol
I love finding those!!!
Watch out letsdig officer Hoover heard that air leak from 5 states away
Douglas DC-9 or dirt perfect. He’s actually good friends with Hoover
Yer poor cameraman, kudos for not falling off on the ride in.
He deserves a raise.
Nice job! Always something to work on. Makes for a long day moving equipment! 👍🏻
You are such a good Nephew...Keeping the boss mans ride up to par while he is relaxing!😁 I saw some happy cows also...

That cupped tire wear pattern is indicative of a toe-in or toe-out condition. The axle may have been bent at some point.
My experience with that cupping is tire drag on too tight of turn my trailer I pull is a 48’ conastoga with the tandems set all the way to the rear happens a lot along with a light trailer and having to use brakes hard makes it bounce along with the other issues others have said
Good job on backing up there Chris. Lot truck drivers can go up and down the highway all day, but can’t back the truck and trailer up worth crap. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Clinton Emmert I used to haul bridge beams, I have backed a mile or two. I tell the young guys, I’ve backed more miles than you drove forward. Lol

This was an interesting video. No one shows this part of the job very often.
Thanks.
Glad to hear Tim's voice he's a up and comer
good job on pre trip hoover would be pround
Man, That New Skid Steer almost sounds like it's electric, it's so quiet.....That's a nice machine..... Another Great one Chris !! Thanks for sharing.... Have a Great Evening !!
FYI the rim was bent so it chewed seen it many times, being on the outside and front probibly hit a curb or hole while loaded. Hope this helps.
Check the alignment on your trailer axles,could be your tire problem.
Holy smoke! That truck has more gauges than some airplanes I’ve been in! . Really wise of ya to check out your rig before you got a load on. I didn’t know those ramps had springs on em. I just thought you were really strong.💪
Might as well bring the 220 and 250, get the whole family involved
😂 sounds like the plan
Nice set up with the truck and trailer. We have a '17 Pete set up real similar would be nice to a tri axle trailer though. Love that automatic Allison too
The roller sounds a lot better thanks for sharing Chris have a great day and stay safe out there
Lol. The filter fabric Creeper. We do the same thing
Quick to change a outside tire. Put a 2x4 under the inside tire drive up on it.
That really only works on a Budd type wheel when you have both outer and inner lug nuts.
I watch you work and maneuver those haevy duty machine's, let me tell you do an excellent job, your helper is good worker...
Interesting video, thanks for posting !
Ole Timmy don’t get in a hurry, he wouldn’t last a day working for me...lol
Great job as always Chris!!!!!
It's not an axle alignment issue like others are saying, as the inside tire and the tires on the opposite side would look the same. Likely a bent wheel.
You must have engaged the flux capacitor to make that Kenworth go that fast. LOL
it must have run out of Pepsi and bananas when he turned lol
I really want a trailer similar to that one! Goodness!
I enjoyed the ride on the road grader at mach speed on the back of the trailer. That dump truck is a thing of beauty. Me likey
I may have it figured out. When your uncle notices wear on the tires he schedules an out of town trip so you end up changing the tires. It appears innocent enough . . .
You throw them chains like a pro. Your uncle may just have you do it fromnow on.
When you said "put the hammer down," damn, that Kenworth T880 can really tear up the asphalt!
Warp drive works good on that dump truck!
Falling out off too as seen at the intersection.
Very good.
No wonder your uncle skipped town. Good job driver👍
He just didn’t wanna get his hands dirty.
Great video. Looks similar to the English country side on a sunny summers day.

Yep you an definitely give yourself a PROFESSIONAL status on heavy equipment relocation specialist nice job boss man 😎👍👍
Looks like I am behind a few videos on the farm. Had not seen the new fence and corral. When do we get a closer tour?
Thanks for sharing Chris.👍👍🇵🇪🐕❤️

Those roads look so smooth, no potholes.

beautiful countryside through your part of NC..
Officer Hoover may catch that ABS light though ;)
Wow much equipment to move Chris and Tim , tyre problem and brake airline busted....busy day...✌👌😎
I think there was an air leak near the camera for the trip with the grader lol! Great video on proper Pretrip check and loading and tie down.
Love the mini grader.
Do you try to match tire diameter/circumference? Mismatched tire sets will scuff the smaller tire.
Most of the time those tires wear like that do to low tire pressure also 2 different tires will make a fund wear and that impact is awesome I have 3 1 in each service truck and 1 in the shop
was that an EMU in the pen next to the ducks??!
I LOVE the banter between u 2 JQ x 🇬🇧
Love that jack u used. At least u worked smarter and not harder on that.
Why wasn't that safety chains hooked up the right way?
Nice find in the tire and Airline!!!
What’s the operating weight of the roller??
Officer Hoover he’s not going to bust that tri axle in NC he’d be good, even if the drum was full of water as long as he stays off the interstate, doubt he would even exceed load rating on tires with it being a tri axle, long trailer to bridge the weight, glad to see he did all 4 corners lol
jd1602155 that’s not what I am asking about. If it’s greater than 10,001 lbs then he would need to prevent articulation of it.
16000 lbs but the tires and drum are filled with helium before hauling so it brings the weight down to 9999
letsdig18 great use of helium!!
Officer Hoover you may want to check his safety chains for bolts 🤣🤣 I saw a picture on Facebook 🤔
Always an interesting camera angle that trailer load POV.
Make sure you leave the job of getting the tyre changed for John when he gets back.
All you’re missing with that roller and skid loader behind the quad, is a half load of cold mix asphalt and an elderly victim 😂. #gypsypavers
Gliderider “We just paved your neighbors driveway up the street....”
Extension for inside valves are available and work ..
What sparked at 13:40 when the compactor was being unloaded?
Axles on your trailer might not be parallel
Was that the maid pulling up to the house at the end? You have a brake light out on the dump truck also. Officer Hoover will find that one though.
Chris You'd make an excellent spokesperson for Milwaukee Tools
Hey Chris, Is there enough room to run a path around the rear of your pole barns for a turn-around?
Install valve extenders and you won't have any more problems airing up those inside tires. Just sayin'. ;-)
edit:
I know you and John like to save money where you can, not unlike any of us really. But I'm warning you now.

Flexing causes heat and heat leads to blowouts. If you are 5 pounds over pressure, then the center tread will slightly more. Always be at or overinflated!
Is it a EU thing that without Air pressure you wont get anywhere since the breaks are applied without pressure and needs pressure to release?

it wore through at 100 hours, already sent it back
@@letsdig18 Yikes. Not good at all.
Be careful with the turbo button on that dumptruck, you were holding it for a bit long.....
those tires wear like that from all the pressure on them from backing then up on payment they slide so much when turning
Y'all ain't had that truck all that long, have you? I'm surprised it's rubbed through like that already.
No rock today. Just roll. er! See what tomorrow brings. All good.
We don't get to see her much but damn I love that dump truck it's badass looking.
Just ask Milwaukee for one of them cotontop3 deals!! 😂
Great video Chris. I have a question for you. Do you have to have to have a Bill of Lading for everything you guys haul? I know freight haulers do but I was wondering if you have to with moving machines around.
Usually, when moving equipment one is not needed.
Normally you don't need a BOL if you own the items being hauled.
Another great and amazing video 👍🏻
Check with Cotontop3, Milwaukee and Huskvarna give him all kinds of stuff. He has been wearing a Huskvarna sawing suit that looks like it would make a good space suit. I reckon they gave it to him.
You have a beutiful farm Chris...
Yall been getting much rain this spring!?
Enjoy the video Chris like it and good trucking man .
Love your new jack.
hi chris what model Milwaukee impact driver is that you have ? seriously tempted to get one and one of there grease guns to just not sure which models are best ?
When ever we sent a truck to pick up the lowboy and move something quickly we would send a helper with him. Usually had a tire to change first.
Don't get to see many equipment hauling vidjas from you. Thanks!
Track it and Pack it is what you were going for I think lol...
Fastest dump truck in n.c. lol.
Blaster should send you some products too!
3:10, Chris laying around on the job again.
What's up with the automatic transmission ???
