Air bags for sure. I have them on my F350 srw. I have front bags for snow plow as well. I use them all the time depending on what I’m towing and how loaded the trailer is. Having an onboard compressor and controller is the only way to do it imo.

I’ve never known anyone to use a snowcat to clear roads. I would think they would damage them as that isn’t what they are intended for. Anyway, hope he recovers fully. I think he is quite involved with private forest fire equipment acquisition and supplies.

I would always do conduit. And I’d add an extra conduit for future use to be safe. 2” for a coax seems a bit overkill. Definitely use 20’ pieces.

That was painful to read

I don’t see how you can do it safely without being over 26k combined. Just get the class A and outfit the truck (dual rear wheels) and trailer properly and be done with it.

They are a 6 ply.

I’ve got a Ford 1720 with R1 tires. We seem to chew through the front tires pretty quickly because we use the loader a lot. I like the traction of the R1, but wondering if a R4 or R14 will hold up better. Also, would I be able to put a different tire on the same wheel, or would I need new wheels...

They were driving down the road slowly and turned into driveway. Guy ducked when he saw me.

Thanks

Does anyone know the engine oil capacity on the 1720. Can't track down the manual. 4 quarts got the oil right in the middle of the dipstick but I recall it being 5 in the past. Thanks, Nick.

My Ford 1720 has an issue. It happened a couple times and this third time seems to be all the time now. Was running fine. Turned it off for a second. Went to restart it and nothing. Just a click. Fooled around with wires etc. removed battery leads and cleaned terminals and it started up no...

I'm possibly looking at a new truck. Been a ford guy, but looking at all the big three. Full crew cab short bed 1 ton srw 4wd. Looking for engine opinions. Fuel economy of the gas engines and reliability of the newer diesels? Currently own a 2005 f350 v10 in same configuration that I'm...

Came across a used L45. I know the capabilities of these machines. Don't have much experience with them in general, but would be great for what I do. It's a 2009 machine with 1800 hours. No thumb put plumbed for one. It looks pretty clean from the pics. What would be a reasonable price for...

Just bought an older 530 Lorenz blower. It's in ok shape, but I missed some things that probably would have prevented me from buying it. Biggest issue right now is that the top auger is welded to the plate that is on the gear. So the shear bolts are useless. I'm trying to figure out a way to...
