That truck adds a lot of character to your farm. I would come drive it for free...... Drove a CL9000 Ford with a 3406 Cat engine and straight exhaust for three years in the early eighties for a logging company. Didn't like it at first but got used to it. We had five trucks and it was sort of the flagship of the company. I kept it spotless. Sure miss them days. I was 24 back then. Hope to drive again someday before I can't anymore. Keep that little boy safe. So easy to get hurt doing that kind of stuff.

Thanks so much for the show, really enjoy them wish I could be there to help you. great to see the family work so well together thanks again Jim

Great video Andy, loved watching Jr. helping you out. Reminds me of when I was a youngin helping my father on the farm. Always so much to learn!

Jim Wesselman it takes a little longer when you have a little kid hanging around but at the end of the day it’s nice to reflect back on the day.

Now that's some serious super singles on that K Wopper!

Your son did a good job running the camera. Great to see the kids working with you at such a young age. When I was his age I followed my Dad around the farm trying to help just like he does with you. Even though sometimes it takes a little longer having them tagging along you got to encourage them. Great videos

Morning Andy. Love the sound of the truck! The tires I can do without. I am sure are great in the fields but man do they roar/sing on the road.

NoMerc good morning, yes indeed they are load. After awhile they get a harmonic howl to them that falls out of rhythm and becomes even more annoying.

Great seeing 'the young man' helping....and some good commentary too! This is the kind of equipment I used in most of my nearly 5 decade career of contracting/construction. It was great hearing the engine brake again, nice and loud.....'wake up the neighborhood'. ....13

Nice video andy. Those tires def sing on the road. I follow dairy support services on fb and they're testing out one of those bazooka pump trucks at barbland dairy in fabius it looked pretty interesting. I'm guessing that pump truck is for dragline as they had some big hose hooked up to it.

Just wondering do you float or do you use the clutch when shifting the trucks?

Got the 2IC on the job with you today! Couple more years and he'll be loading and chaining it down for ya 😂

Looks at the rear shoes on that kW dammm

That's one mean sounding and looking truck!!! Love it... do you put a boot over the exhaust on the excavator? It can damage the turbo while hauling because the air going in the exhaust is turning the turbo backwards!

Thanks for the video and jr. Thanks for the commentary while you were running the camera it's much nicer than silence!😊
