(continued) with planets sows cuz they were used on muddy leases playing in the mud. Don't quote me on that though that's just what I was told lol

@Rebelswamper2011 That seems about right, I think you were told the truth

[mrstuperstefan]

That's a great mobile! Really great.

[CDNcatskinner]

@mrstuperstefan you could park this ANYwhere Stephan...just let em try to make you move

[artistfarmer]

Howard's commander rocks! For some reason I thought they were also called "sows"?? Am I crazy?? ....don't answer unless I'm not....LOL

[CDNcatskinner]

@artistfarmer The big bed trucks are sows...the commander was always a commander to me, until i heard them call it a buggy the other day, now I am confused too ;-)

[Rebelswamper2011]

@cdncatskinner yea I'm thinking so it makes alot of sense. Either way bed trucks kick ass I love movin rigs u get to see alot of cool stuff. Love your videos too keep em comin

I was on a move with this commander by lodgepole... The commander was too wide for the sub so we had to grab it with the little bed with the drilling floor to the back. Front tires came 6 feet off the ground we had to get towed around by a cat cuz we couldn't steer lol. Howards also had their 6x8 sow on that move. I was told that technically "sows" are bed trucks with planetaries. Most beds have planetaries now but back in the day smaller beds didn't have planets and they called beds with plane

@CDNcatskinner

I've only ever heard scrapers/earth movers called buggies.

Sows are usually 6x8 and have 14 R24 tires, most that I have seen have a center roll instead of poles

I have yet to see one moving rigs but there is a tracked vehicle also made by foremost called a nodwell

Another great video man! Keep em comin.
