  • BORING!!! Oh so boring..... perhaps.... to some.... But, in this episode we transport, unload, repair, reload, and deliver a BORING machine, a machine used to bore (drill) holes in the ground (earth). We use truck #17, our Peterbilt 587 road tractor and our Trail-Eze TE801 trailer to transport the machine and our Peterbilt 389X with Miller Industries, Century 1150R rotator to unload and reload the machine INSIDE our shop. Oh, and did I mention that Talon makes an appearance in this video??? Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

    Ron's wife said "what do you want for your birthday honey?". Ron said " How about a garage that I can drive through from either direction, long enough to fit 2 rotators in one bay and a flatbed in the other, high ceilings, and still have room for the cars, motorcycles, lawn mowers and working space." . Looks like he got it!

And no, I wasn't 'bored' by the subject matter, well, y'all know the drill!!! Still it musta been a 'hole' new experience to repair such a machine. Stay safe and God bless.

      This was a rush job to get the machine back in the field ASAP. A little oil on the floor underneath a machine wasn't hurting anything. I had Ethan grab oil dry as soon as we lifted the machine from the shop floor. Not much you can do with it other than contain it when a 13,000 lb machine with a 1/2" T-1 plate steel cage around the lower section decides it want to dump the oil. Thanks for watching and God bless.

    Have you ever thought about mounting a camera to the underside on the light near the 2nd winches or some place near there where a suction cup bracket would hold? In a situation like this a loading and unloading with no or minimal time constrictions that might be a interesting view. as usual thank you for sharing with us Ron.

    You said the scales were a little off. I remember a video on Plaza Towing's channel where the Miller rep told them the weight can be inaccurate until you cycle the valves for the boom by raising or lowering it a hair. Something to do with it using the cylinder pressure to measure the weight, and the valves needed to cycle to let everything equalise, but the video didn't really explain beyond that. Their rotator is a slightly newer Vulcan 1150.

    It seems like only days since you posted videos of working in snow and ice, and now you need large fans. It's never dull wherever you are.... LOL
