You did very good for your first time! Raise the box til you feel the material shift, then roll forward and trip the latch and watch your spread! The guy loading is very gentle, hardly shook the truck! Smooth and even!

First tip : raise the box till you hear the stone shift if you have the the window down you can hear it slide and hit the gate start the truck moving before popping the gate for a smooth start to the spread. second: on the last load did it feel like the truck was surging if so you had the box too high cause the stone to get stuck at the gate then breaking free leaving a pile then a thin spot and repeating till the gate isn't over loaded.

Always watch out for power lines and tree limbs . Never let a customer talk you into doing anything unsafe. Be very aware of your lean. Mine flipped over the other day and it was a flat grade. We had had a lot of rain, ground was soft on right side of driveway. Flipped so fast I didn't have time to think. Almost got fired, whew. Great job 1st time. My first, SEVERAL, I was none to proud of. Again, GREAT JOB, Driver!!!

Nice job, crushed limestone is one of the easiest materials to spread, I don't mean that in a bad way, regular road gravel in michigan is sticky and wants to plug up in the tailgate. I like how you backed over your first spread and then started moving forward to tie onto the first spread. I spent 30 years driving and spreading with gravel trains in Michigan, two trailers one truck doing what you did. Spread the pup, back up and spread the lead over the tongue while still hooked up. You do a great job with your videos.
@trevorannen5 жыл бұрын
As a driver that does this on a regular basis i can say you did a good job a general rule of thumb is about the second ram little more or till you feel the load shift but not to much or youll lock the gate if you get to much weight on it

I always raised the bed, until you feel the rock shift and hit the tailgate. Then roll forward, with the lift going up. And did a many loads backing up. When doing a driveway, that I had to start in the main road. And back through trees. Works great after you do it a time or 1000. One like that big Cat was what loaded me Thursday. Don't take long with those to get a load.

Not bad for time tailgating. I always found around the second stage of the hoist was the sweet spot
@schafn4 жыл бұрын
Each truck has its own sweet spot. I had a 1972 Mack with a scissor lift and I had a benchmark on the lift for when to put the truck in gear and open the tailgate. I don't know what trucks are like these days but the Mack didn't have live hydraulics. You had to have the clutch out for the PTO to work and raise the box. Once the box was in position you had to put it in whatever gear you wanted depending on how thick you wanted the rock to spread. Then you'd ease the clutch out and when the truck started moving flip the switch for the tailgate. About then you'd better have the lever pulled to raise the box too.

The entire process is very similar to when my wife backs up to the dining chair I have pulled out and am holding as my wife starts to slowly ease into her chair. Her hamstring muscles work smoothly until 65% to 70% of butt weight physics takes control and the remaining 30% -35% of motion increases and becomes a free fall to an abrupt stop

I would have tightened up the chain a little, but you have a grader on sight, so you're in good shape. Tip: if you don't want or can't have the bed up higher, remember that you can always stab the throttle to start the material sliding towards the gate. Otherwise, not a bad job for your first 3 times. Might make you a driver yet, Chris.

Is 57 stone a mix of 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 rock with a road base mix? We have 57 rock down here in the Florida Keys but it’s strictly pea rock, just the 3 size mix. Usually quite a bit cheaper than a load of 1/4, 1/2, or 3/4.
