He Bought a 5-Ton Military Truck! (6X6)

Spence bought a big boy toy! A 6X6 5-ton military truck with a dump bed! Bought it up in Minnesota and drove it back 4 hours. It's a 1979, 5-speed with 5 low gears, and 5 high gears. The plan is to use it for Farm Clean-ups and a couple other projects he has coming up.
Also thanks to anyone who came out to the Farm Progress Show! We had a blast and met a lot of awesome people. I thought we ordered enough t-shirts, but we gave them away all in the first hour of the show. There were a lot more people than I was expecting- crazy!

    Be glad you have those seats, they are a lot nicer than the ones that were originally in them just about 3 inches of foam covered in canvas and not much legroom in those cabs either. I had a license for a M923 and drove it all over Saudi Arabia back in 1990/91.

    Alright Grant, I did some quick research and got some results. Spencer truck is 1979 M817 dump truck (part of the M809 series). It’s got a 14 L Cummins NHC-250 naturally aspirated diesel that cranks out 250 horse @2100 rpm and 658 ft lbs of torque @1500 rpm.

    I learned to drive stick in a 1948 Dodge weapons carrier in 1965 that needed to be double-clutched but a similar experience to learning to shift as you guys had...fun! That 6-by will come in handy. I would look for a low-boy trailer the 6-by can carry the excavator on next. You could also haul grain carts with it, too.

    This video put such a massive smile on my face lads, from hearing you narrate the most engaging farm sim videos to seeing you do it in real life is so fricken awesome man. Spencer seems so stoked with his truck and is clearly a natural at driving manual! Given me inspiration to get out there and try learn myself, thanks homie. You're actually a legend Grant, both of you are, but man, so impressed with your grind. You're clearly an incredibly hard working man with either a god gifted business acumen or more likely; you just worked really hard and studied the greats on how to do it. Super impressed man. Keep inspiring us!! Much love from little old New Zealand, hope the SquadBuilt showcase went/goes well!! Game is looking great, seems perfectly marketed towards actual farmers being able to play a bit when they're on the old autosteer 😅 edit: wrote this at like 3 mins in, seeing and hearing Buch irl was a blessing at the end there.. and Spencers lesson on driving the truck, what an excellent teacher! Your lady did so well! All of you guys rock!!! Maybe if you played less farm sim you would have super strength 🤣🤣

    If your pasture is going to be for hunting habitat frost seed some switchgrass or a native prairie mix after freeze up. It generally works well. The deer and the pheasants will love it. Also a couple rows of crab apple trees provide some permanent food when they mature...Oh and get rid of the brush piles in the future they hold skunks and coon that ruin pheasant nests. Just a thought if wildlife are your intentions there. 👌🏽🇺🇲

Funny, me and my buddies farm and we always make these videos to see who can do what, and today I actually made a video of me driving a stick! Im a teen now but dad thought me how to drive, his way was put it in gear and hopefully don't crash, (LOL) Think I started driving stick at ten years? Its a 2001 Ford F-350 v8 manual. You guys look so cool driving that thing, when he starts it up it sounds like the semi in Smokey and the Bandit? Also hope you had a good time in Boone Iowa at the farm progress show, saw buch did a youtube short on it! Cant wait for your game, and maybe some harvesters vids soon, we started to chop corn too! Hope all is well on the farm and with family! YEEYEE, and have a good one!

    Spence, most trucks shift easier if you double clutch. It seems to give the motor time to slowdown to easier shift the gears. Takes practice. Google double clutch shifting.

    There are manuals online for your new truck. If you get a proper hitch made for your 5 ton it will haul grain wagons for you! FYI that truck is 5 ton rated off road at operating speeds. Meaning the capacity is much higher. Enjoy gentlemen!

    The 5ton is rated by if you put a 5ton cylinder straight up over the rear axles and drive at speed off road don't remember what the speed was to qualify for it Once u dump and the bed starts coming down put the dump lever all the way back and the bed will continue to go down and you can start moving slowly till it gets half way down then u can speed up a little the high low on the transfer case use low when you are loaded and it is soft and over rough terrain use 2nd to start out on the flat and empty we used low side when ever hauling off road we moved lots of stuff with them trucks while I was in the national guard for 24yrs and I worked on them also
