Fuse6 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Don, your Apex is going to float like a butterfly after wheeling your new rig around town all week. Impressive piece of equipment. Is the second axle an air lift tag axle or a fully integrated steering axle? You will have a few interesting days mastering the operation of that unit. Are the Hydro Vac trucks able to penetrate frozen ground efficiently. Around here now on the urban fringe seldom see a backhoe digging. Majority of the work is done with the Hydro Vac units. iceman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second axle is a fully integrated steering axle. All the water tanks and pump is all up front there. With the hot water we can thaw all frozen ground surely looking forward to the challenge, driving it is the easy part mastering the. Operation of the boom and all the other controls will be the real fun. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueblood Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 I drive a 2016 international Lonestar with a Cummins 500 13 speed. Hauling scrap metal in a frameless dump trailer. iceman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The automatic takes the fun/skill out of driving if you ask me. But I think I am gonna get used to it. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman Posted January 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 The “Mistress” saw her first real action today. Performed flawlessly as expected and we are gonna get along just fine. Man was tough to want to get her dirty but hey, it’s what she was built for. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
