mack mhe9 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Well I got to do the dynamat. Not the worst thing I've ever done but not looking to do it again. Couple Mack's running around in PAGot passed buy this Titan going up hill, yes I was empty and flat to the floor. Go E6 350Got to haul a couple fire trucks and let me tell you they are buy far the worst thing I think I've ever hauled. The first one, a single axle was nice truck hauled it up to NH.Then haul back this twin screw and ill give you some info these things are heavy.Subtract 31000 for truck and trailer and there you have it 58000 for a for a fire truck. Yes 51000 on a spread axle. Back from NH to PA. Didn't like doing it. But had to get the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Must have been to Meadowood then. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogboy Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I think that Meadowood disbanded last year. Meadowood was a private fire department located in Fitzwilliam, NH (Fitzwilliam has its own fire department). Their mission was to operate a fire training school and to supply specialized equipment that was not available in rural N.H., VT., and MA. back in the '60s and '70s. Their first aerial was a 1956 Ford "F" with a Sponco electric ladder. They later had several Mack Aerialscopes and even a rescue truck built on a Mack Aerialscope chassis. They had one of the first FD dive teams in the area. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool picsI was hoping to but it was 10.8 witch made me 14 ft. Had to air down the tires and chine down the suspension. It need to be on a 3 axle rgn. Or I just should nave not hauled it. That would have been the smarter decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tape here says 13'6That's my theory, move at night get to where your going as fast as you can. And if you stopped act dumb. No sir I didn't know that, or yes it looks bad but it's legal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack mhe9 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Not hauled it? That's no fun! Dropped off the nice one then reloaded same place. After looking at the second truck I realized I way under bid the job. But what do you do at 11.00 at night and you got to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Nice pics.A lesser man would've been running around the truck stop with that scale ticket asking which way he needed to slide the tandems.

vision386 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I have always wondered,(maybe one of you "firetruck guys" knows) but why do they make such a big deal out of de-indentifiying ex fire apparatus? ie: removing all the numbers,I.D. etc.?.I mean I know little to nothing about firetrucks,but even I knew that tandem ladder truck was ex- FDNY................................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

mack mhe9 Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 That's what the buyer thought also. They paint over every thing yet they do a terrible job and you can still read everything so why doit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
