I have hauled many tanks in the past , I would have them load them backward so the barrel pointed backward they wondered why till I hung my sign on the barrel ( tailgaters will be shot ) that always got a laugh from the troops . Not so much from the D.O.T.
@@MrSmitty6969 Thanks bro .It's the little things that make a job Fun .When was the last time you spent a Quarter to block someone you didn't likes parking brake air line ?
@Logan Johnson We always traversed the turrets 180° on our M1's for transport. Since the turret isn't in the middle, most the barrel is over the back and only sticks out a couple feet. I would never haul one on this trailer though lol. Usually it's an Oshkosh M1070 tractor with an M1000 trailer. Things have 40 tires if I'm remembering right. Been a while. During the invasion we would be in our tanks while loaded up, they pulled us off-road, complete darkness, not a single light or glow stick even lol, from Kuwait where we staged all the way to Iraq where we started to pick up heat signatures a few miles away. Then we unloaded, got into formation and my life changed forever 😆🤘
@@xsixinfantryx THANKS Mike for the reply no i only moved one of those bad boys was fun . most of the ones i moved were from China I think thy would come to Tacoma Wa. and i would take them to the Yakima firing rang when they would have joint war games .
It was a pleasure to meet all of you gentleman. You saved the day by hauling that stupid thing on short notice. It was super smooth and easy. Again thank you!!
Heavy D, Ilooks like you really scored when you hired Alan. All you guy's are great but he just fits right in like he's been there since day one. Good on ya Alan, It's a great use of time for a handicapped guy like me to watch all the great and funny stuff you guy's do!
Hauling an APC to a shooting match with your Monster Rig is just about one of the baddest, most America things I can imagine. These videos are SO fun - inspiring even! The scenery is bonkers. Thanks dudes...

damn i was almost in shock the second i saw Mike walking into frame... Pappas is such a knowledgeable awesome guy hopefully this leads to more content with you guys even if some of it cant go on YT.
I love how Heavy D and the tank owner are both wearing coats with small hail coming down and Hunter is out there in a cut off shirt. 🤣😂 Another great video Heavy D, love the randomness of some of your adventures.
This would have been amazing to see in person and in action! You guys are amazing! I love how you guys always look like you are having fun no matter what task you are working!
Love watching these! My grandad was a military surplus dealer, and thats all he did for a long time, he’d clear out hundreds of pairs of boots and sell them on, but amongst the clothing he also had ferret scout cars, tanks, APCS, he had a 6 wheeler (big in the uk!) he used to pull down tress in his garden. We’ve still got a load of knives and welding masks, mine detection equipment and marquees from those days.
Amazing video guys, I really enjoyed the backing and loading sequences. With a quick research, I found out that the “tank” actually comes from my country, precisely the Czechoslovakia (now two separate countries). And Dave’a guess about the age was right, OT-90 is just a modernised version of the BMP-1 which was made in the 70’s and 80’s.
Again another awesome video. I almost miss hauling oversized every day, but I don't. Same with hazmat. It's okay every now and then but I don't miss doing it every freaking day. The owner of the personnel carrier seemed cool as hell. Definitely a dude I'd drink a beer with and learn a thing or two from.
BOUT TO HIT 2 MILL BABY!!! Congrats heavy D, genuinely one of the only videos I can sit and binge watch for hourssss, keep up the great work man & please don’t change up as you grow KEEP DOING YOUR THING BOSS! Hope to be able to possibly collab w you one day (:
Watching these guys all my life and then moving to Utah where I see them drive by is such a surreal thing. Such incredible content you guys. Love this so much!
The fact that you imported multiple carriers - that is huge! Everheard of TBM Avenger - well - in 78 -79 - one went into a river near me. I was part of the spray plane crew - that fed the plane. The TBM pilot - was an old guy. His comment was - " he set it down on the rocks in the river - and waited for the chopper - to pick him up. The plane - was on top of the rocks - when it came to rest. Like carriers - they are on top! Cheers!
I heard they were in a bind and didn't have a tank until last minute. When I saw your truck in the parking lot on the way out, I realized you guys had saved the day. Good work boys!
Consider getting a shredder on a trailer for when you guys do more scrap haulage. That way you can make it smaller on site for easier transportation. Besides, it’s just an extremely fun tool to have.
I love that Dave actually drives himself and that you can see him driving. many times you see people have semi's, but they have others to run because they are "businessman" without practical skills. but not Dave, .. "if it got wheels, can I drive it, and also some things without ..." (quote Gone in 60 sec.)
My boss took over her dad's trucking company when he passed away. Well, they have a 1965 cabover diamond Rio.. it's just sitting there rotting away. I wish you guys could come rescue it and save it.. it's a classic
Dave I know you know a lot about loading and unloading your truck and trailers and most likely can drive better than anyone. I've driven tractor trailer for 37 years of and on. I learned in years is it Easier to back in a place and pull out. You guys are good at what ever you are doing. I enjoy your videos. Thank you
It was a joke, they fucked up the lawn behind his house and then the feild next to the shop, why the hell did they bring that rig in there, should have loaded it on the road. But then again it could come back to them that it was on public highway but backing the trailer in would have avoided all that
I am an old person and the more i see what you and your crew do makes me want to be 30 again thanks for letting me ride with yall through the videos love this shit brother .oh that old duck is still there 42 i think .

I love watching you chaps meeting and talking to regular people ., you appear normal and humble. none of the arrogant BS that other youtubers exhibit..
I Remember An Acquaintance From Back In The Old-School Days, Who Used To Use A M-60 To Tear-Down Buildings, He'd Drive The Tank In, Turn/Spin The Turrent & The Barrel (102mm./Plugged With Concrete, I Believe?) Would Tear Out The Lower Structure By/With The Operation & Then Continue To Demolish It By Turning The Turrent & Crushing (Driving On) The Building, Till You Could Then Schedule A Burn With The Local Fire Dept., They Got The Training & You Provide The Refreshments (Kegs & Chicken! LOL! Usually Works!)
I also hauled Abrams tanks and tank retrievers m88 from Barstow to fort Irwin before desert Storm.S &K low bed service. Custom 6 axle cozad rail trailer custom Western Star met a lot of good Patriots 😎
Hay Dave Sparks how proud was you doing that load, great to watch some one who knows how to work heavy haulage loads. to load and to unload it. i did the same type of work here in the state of Western Australia north west mining. Chris down yonder
I like how can unhook your trailer from your truck and roll something onto your trailer. Put tank up on trailer strap it down and pull away. A job well done. But sometimes a hard place to get a big truck out small place. That sure is a beautiful truck. Thank you all. God bkess
I got to haul Bradley's and a couple of f18 fuselages back when I was hauling.militaryoads are awesome I think my best one was a gold ingot from the Monsey AZ mine though. No scales to stop at and cops getting stopped by the treasury department.
I love watching your videos. I was sitting here watching your last video and discovered that my son also watches your channel. Thank you for sharing! 👍👌👏🥰
There is one thing I've never seen on any armored anything periscope are wipers. Can't tell you how irritating it is to open the hatch just to wipe the glass. Militaries are supposed to be "all weather" not when it's not raining or snowing out.
I drove a cab over freightliner like that for Mayflower in like 87. Had the full 10 wheels, 13 speed fuller. Was a great truck. I love the cab over view
Dave Sparks you are definitely surrounded by some really cool and interesting people... I've hauled a few of those over the years.. They ride pretty smooth going down the road.. By the way you have some beautiful equipment for hauling.. Have a great day.
The binders you use we have what are called ratchets on the boat. They are over 3 feet in length when pulled in and over 5 feet long when extended. Very large and very heavy.
I agree 💯 percent as they always makes me laugh when there doing and saying things but sad when they show sad and upsetting clips and I will never stop watching and loving them
Mike! Fond memories of him at that little hole in the wall before they moved to the place next to sams club. That man loves things that goes pew in the right way, just like myself. 👍
wish we would see you doing more of this work. then playing with toys u own. this is more interesting then any show u have dun bro. diesel dave id the best . what a character he is. . great show loved watching the truck in action. please do more
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ that was a 5 star load. You guys been doing really well lately. I would like to think it's because the old man got on your ass about being unsafe & tearing shit up? 🤣🤣🤣 To bad about the hydraulic hoses. When you get the hang of it the bug beautiful grapple be just like your hand. Everything is 1 fluid motion. It's the shock load blows those hoses & don't be afraid to double the psi we you replace them. Last much, much longer. You skated on getting that hose at O'Reilly. 🤣 What happened underneath was unfortunate. You can't always see that coming. Shit flips up, stuff goes flying, you know. Good job! 😎🇺🇸
Looks to be the Czech OT-90 (Soviet BMP-1 with different turret). Turret was changed to dual machine gun version from the original 73 mm 2A28 "Grom" gun version, so it didn't fall into the category of light tank for treaty purposes.
Another awesome video thanks heavyD you are a awesome individual and you have a very motivated crew cheers Ed from Australia be awesome to spend a day with you guys and work my ass off
The screenshot idea was an excellent a idea. Because you can right click on the time and date and click inspect and change what you see. and make it so your spot on with the scrap value
I'm retired SGT US Army with a 19 E MOS (Armor Gunner) and this APC is Russian I believe a BTR 60 with 23 MM gun. It was the focus of a combined arms attack by the Soviet Union and it's satellites.
I have ridden My Harley all over beautiful UTAH several times. Boy I wish I had known You dudes and where You were located. I sure would have passed by to say Hi. Wow. - - I'm just diggin Your vlogs. - - -
Very nice job! Amazing load! Your are very professional! Mr. Papas also a very nice person and full of knowledge! Thanks for the video! Greetings from Greece!
As a former flat beder you get to haule all kind of stuff I once hauled a howitzer boy the red tape and stuff to move it 98 miles was insane thank who ever made out rigers
Need to look into speed binders. They makes securing loads quicker and a lot easier than old style binders. Uses a drill or impact to tighten. I know dirt perfect uses them for his equipment
Man it would be so badass to work for heavy D not only for the adventure but as a veteran to be able to appreciate how awesome some of the vehicles you buy or haul are.heavy d ever need an extra hand no pay required heavy equipment operator and rigging specialist I’m your guy lol 🤘🏽
I would LOVE to live in Kamas, I just wish is was closer to places to work. I seem to be stuck in Ogden. Luckily we get to visit these beautiful towns!
Periscopes are only used when you are in the shit (taking effective fire) and buttoned up. The seat goes up and you normally drive with your head up and sticking out.
That looks like an old D6 cable dozer by the size of the blade. I have many hours of seat time in many different dozers. I really enjoyed running a D8R like the one you were running. Good job!

I'm retired SGT US Army with a 19 E MOS (Armor Gunner) and this APC is Russian I believe a BTR 60 with 23 MM gun. It was the focus of a combined arms attack by the Soviet Union and it's satellites.
My dreams come true every time I see badass equipment in your videos; especially the Kenworth. This is exactly what my day called for!
5:38 dude that sniffing sound killed me LOL
Graupel is by far my favorite type of precipitation!!
I have ridden My Harley all over beautiful UTAH several times. Boy I wish I had known You dudes and where You were located. I sure would have passed by to say Hi. Wow. - - I'm just diggin Your vlogs. - - -
Heavy D you gotta be one of the most interesting people I’ve ever seen the man has done it all love that guy.
Tanks for letting us watch...
Very nice job! Amazing load! Your are very professional! Mr. Papas also a very nice person and full of knowledge! Thanks for the video!
Greetings from Greece!
That white cabover is epic. Gotta love those little big trucks!
I drove a 105 howitzer in the Guard and I loved it!! When I did rail duty I got to drive an M1 Abram and that was awesome!! That looks cool!!
As a former flat beder you get to haule all kind of stuff I once hauled a howitzer boy the red tape and stuff to move it 98 miles was insane thank who ever made out rigers
Need to look into speed binders. They makes securing loads quicker and a lot easier than old style binders. Uses a drill or impact to tighten. I know dirt perfect uses them for his equipment
Man it would be so badass to work for heavy D not only for the adventure but as a veteran to be able to appreciate how awesome some of the vehicles you buy or haul are.heavy d ever need an extra hand no pay required heavy equipment operator and rigging specialist I’m your guy lol 🤘🏽
I would LOVE to live in Kamas, I just wish is was closer to places to work. I seem to be stuck in Ogden. Luckily we get to visit these beautiful towns!
looks like a BMP-1, apc, between the benches a big fueltank and in the backdoors also extra fueltanks, shpuld be amphibious.
Periscopes are only used when you are in the shit (taking effective fire) and buttoned up. The seat goes up and you normally drive with your head up and sticking out.
That looks like an old D6 cable dozer by the size of the blade. I have many hours of seat time in many different dozers. I really enjoyed running a D8R like the one you were running. Good job!
That was a Bang of a job.....I'll still call that a small Hall storm....
I hauled one a few months ago. It was from Vietnam war era. My son couldn't wait for me to open the back ramp/ door when I got home.
