 Topic: Hauling the F2 Home
Posted: 13 Nov 2016 at 10:48am |
Man, What a journey. 30 ft gooseneck with a hydraulic Dovetail. Was about 14' 6" tall. Got it loaded just before Dark. Was nervous around some powerlines. and I had the Pleasure of Backing it off the trailer in the Dark, while my hired trucker stood on the back ladder pumping the boat tank primer to keep it running! the powerfold auger makes it impossible to see the rear tire from the seat, and Oh yeah, NO Brakes.
His name was Devin hes in the military and spend his leave time hauling stuff all around the country, Nice guy and based out of effingham.
Had a beer and went straight to bed when I got home!
I couldnt believe it but all 4 front lights came on.

We've had to let the air out of combine tires before to get under over passes. Recently i hualed a 800 versatile on a 53' stepdeck through several towns and a couple cities. Had to weave through the stop lights because the ac unit on the cab top was too tall.
Anything above 15' is a pain. I like wide loads, they can make you pucker up when you meet another wide load!

When our R52 was delivered trucker let most of the air out of the tires and even had to dump some air on the truck to fit under overpasses.

I wanted to pull down your lane, but, there were trailers and header carts. Thought that I would come back at a better time.
