Had me wondering there for a minute, I couldn't figure that noise as it was pulling away. Then the tractor came into view.

I love my M51A2, it's my favorite playtoy and works good too. Mine doesn't smoke that much even on 100% WMO but I haven't messed with the injector pump. It's got all the power I need around here.

great videos! Man those trucks can haul. I would imagine Shale is very dense and heavy, your truck dumped it no problem. Can wait to haul material in my M813. I am installing a dump hoist next week.

Looks as though it would be the ultimate "on site" truck!

My multifuel wrecker smoked like that, we used to call it "pigpen". Then I snapped the crank. You might want to put a pyrometer on there.


Yes, we really like the videos!

B4Thunder,

I love the working truck vids! If I could I would spend hours on Youtube!

Is it working for personal or business use?

Not that I would have let him before, but there is no way Gimpy is driving my truck now!!!

What the heck did you have to do to a MF to snap the crank? I would have thought too much load, but then I can't imagine the clutch transmitting enough torque to snap a crank!

Sorry for the Hijack, but I can't resist asking!

I had it dynoed @ 275 hp. It was a monster.

Could use it here! Better than handshoveling shale out of a regular deuce. That is a lot of work!! Nice video. When is it coming here?

 

[b4thundr]
