@JaccobDalton Lol one of mine is at like 15K

[Trashman242]

Awesome work, how did you just manage to come across this truck with the owners right there?! Did you go to Dadee Mfg's location or something? It looked like it was just in a random parking lot or something lol

Terrific job on the in-body shot of the packer, that was cool. Can't wait to see one of these on route! I liked that sign they put on the side of the body too, thanks for supporting small businesses :D

[legodude24652]

@Trashman242 Thanks!! There was a Transportation Day event near me and I went lol Jaccob has plenty of footage of this truck lol

[ThaThunderStorm]

has anyone been able to catch this one on a rte yet??

[legodude24652]

@ThaThunderStorm No, Jaccob saw one but sadly couldn't follow it to route :(

[ThaThunderStorm]

@legodude24652 it'sd only a matter of time though :) beautiful truck!

[phoenix59923]

do you know whats the MC going to be? maybe MC9600?

[legodude24652]

@phoenix59923 Probably 9700 or past because the FL's are 9650's already. And the Pete hybrids are 9500's.

Nice to see another truck in pristine condition, how many of these are they getting? Nice collection of pictures and great shot of the packer - very interesting truck all around! Also what's with the rolled up belts on the grabber... look like belts anyway?

[legodude24652]

@MitchellM15 Phx bought four as of now. As for the belts, I don't know. Thank you for your comment.

[JaccobDalton]

@MitchellM15 They're rolled up because of pressure on the carts. Like squeezing the carts. Wayne discontinued the design i think when they had those massive black belted grabbers for example our old peterbilts. Dadee was great and came up with belts to prevent the squeezing. It'll be interesting to see how they work. To my theory, i think these scorpions will handle recycling.

[rempledisposal]

i love there packer, one of a kind

[legodude24652]

@rempledisposal Yea it's awesome. A lot better than Wayne IMO

[cd8100]

this is one heck of a truck

[legodude24652]

@cd8100 Sure is.

[trashmaster684]

How come the belts on the grabbers are rolled up?

Ahhh cant wait to see this!!!!!!!!!

[legodude24652]

@trashmaster684 Dunno. I can't wait to film it lol. Another month or two and one of us should have this truck on film.

[trashmaster684]

@legodude24652 Lol

[trashmaster684]

@JaccobDalton Ahh I see. Thats a great idea!

[3amrepmike3]

dude. Scorpion coming to california? Im. Speechless. I hope they are found somewhere near to me so I can film them!

And that kid knows a hell of a lot about operating trucks...damn. haha I love the grippers. finally a 300 capable grip that can do 30s too!

[cd8100]

@3amrepmike3 we need some scorpions here. sacramento has so many curbtenders and amreps.

[legodude24652]

@3amrepmike3 CA: should be there in months to come.

That kid is a mini genius I'm tellin' you. If only Phx bought 30's lol we have a couple I think. And 300's are slowly being taken away. It's one helluva truck though!

[RainbowDisposal]

Amazing. Hope it comes to CA someday

[JaccobDalton]

@RainbowDisposal Paul Campbell told Legodude that they would have a future FL and CNG body. CNG for California!

[legodude24652]

@RainbowDisposal Should be on the west coast soon, they plan to go national very soon; then international.

[r6man2]

WOW ! Cool! 

[legodude24652]

@r6man2 Thanks!

Great job! Sure is a very cool looking truck. 

[legodude24652]

[mtr82952]

Ok, that is one HELLA AWESOME truck to say the least, I am glad that Phoenix is purchasing these awesome trucks. Wow a 11 year old got to opperate that, and did that awesome of a job, too bad there was not a cart to use with it and flip the lid LOL.

[legodude24652]

@mtr82952 It is a nice truck I will tell you that. I wish I could have operated it.
