Question: When the dump truck backs up to the rock spreader, does the spreader grab onto the truck and the driver of the truck puts it in neutral and the spreader just pulls the trucks? Thanks and awesome video!
@TowerClimber81 Yes that's exactly what happens. A jaw on the spreader grabs onto a pull bar mounted to the truck. The truck is pulled backward while in neutral, all the driver does is keep the truck straight. This can be a bit scary for the truck driver since we move pretty quick, but you do get used to it. We move about 400 feet per minute, perhaps faster or slower depending on several variables. Glad you enjoyed the video!
@JimGeorgeAndSons Wow! Very interesting! As a kid, I couldn't wait until summer came round just to see you guys in action! Thanks for the answer and have a safe oil chip'n season this year!
