Over Cab Cam View of me dumping my load

Here's yet another unique perspective. I took my new homemade magnetic camera mount and placed it above my cab over the hopper. It's a pretty good look at what we see when we watch our loads being pushed out while dumping. Big ups, to my welder. That cam mount is awesome, no vibration and slippage. Hope you like the vantage point.

well I must say im impressed once again by you this was great to see that in that POV nice work

Yeah I didn't even think about the tailgate possibly being seen. After I dumped it I realized it might be possible to see the load on the floor. That's why I pulled the blade back. This one was really lucky. Got it on the first try.

seen 1 truck at the dump doing the same as you only the blade came off too he was like WTF happend im like dude the blade broke off and slid down the hill at the landfill he's like hey go down and get it i was like F that

[TheTrashTrucker]

Do u know how much a blade weighs???????????

[joshhamilton99]

Great shot and perspective! Does this truck only pack to clear the hopper or can you manually pack all the way to the rear without the tailgate open? I asked ThaThunderStorm for a similar video a couple of years ago to show the hydraulics fully packing. He managed to get a great shot for me in that video. My question is if it doesnt allow full packing do you think the garbage would be compacted better if you could manually pack to the rear after each stop vs. packing the hopper opening only?

[capecodunderground]

[ThaThunderStorm]

wow!

the blade on a front end truck weights over 2000 pounds depending on the make and model. They are very heavy and reinforced in the corners where the cylinders force the blade forward. The face plate is AR (abbrassion resistant) steel. No plastic in these trucks, the body has to resist the stress of being punished all day!
