DavCut Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 How’d it work out Brad? When you first posted about the truck you sounded pretty positive about it.

storkmack Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 I was very positive about it. The problem was that it was to tall to fit under the plant to load it. The way our weight laws are in Illinois, you can’t haul enough on it legally to get real excited about. Essentially you are making the contractors job easier with less manpower and not getting anymore $$ for the Crete.

DavCut Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 That’s too bad it didn’t work out Brad. The material supplier my Dad worked for was a predominately Mack fleet, until they started buying front discharge mixers. I believe most of those were Oshkoshes. Seems as if I remember him saying the contractors were demanding the front discharge rigs so if you wanted to play in their sandbox you had to have them. They did find that they could get around sites better with the all wheel drive than a standard rear discharge trucks. Problem became that when they did got stuck they really got stuck!

storkmack Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 The main problem is that in Illinois you are only legal with I believe with 6.75 yards in a front. Where as a rear you can haul 9yards. With that being said the big companies run 10 yards in both. We don’t like making untimely monetary deposits to the government, so we run legal. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33736-mack-savage-mixer/page/2/#findComment-472200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackey58 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I saw a stark mixer on 130th heading east by the ford plant a couple weeks ago Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33736-mack-savage-mixer/page/2/#findComment-472201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I believe right before the Volvo by out Mack had an agreement with Oskosh to use Oskosh mixers with the Mack name and Mack engine. To bad they can't use the MR platform to make a forward discharge mixer. Get a clue🙂 Vo%$#.
