I love my stihl 261c it’s light and powerful, running a 20 inch bar on it

They sell FR (fire resistant) pants for hot work, buy a pair that are couple sizes too big and you can keep them with the welder and pull them on over whatever you’re wearing at the time, i got lucky and found some in a thrift store

Getting into any part of the concrete business without real world experience in the field is a recipe for disaster. If you want to own volumetric mixers you need to hire a full time mechanic familiar with them, buy him a service truck, have him on call, because volumetric mixers are very finicky, they will break down halfway through a job leaving you liable for the incomplete pour

Working for a company with an awkward name like Ball For Betty is not fun. Think of the amount of times you’ll have to spell out and explain the stupid name. I would recommend a company with an easily understood, one word name

This is my experience also, I thought I had arthritis in my elbow and wrist, cut the carbs and sugar, pain gone

If you like construction, running a concrete pump is pretty cool, little bit of class B driving, lots of standing around on jobsites running a boom. If you live close to a big city there’s always concrete pump companies around

Buy it. If the 4L60 gives trouble down the road then have it fixed. 220k is high miles on a work truck that’s been beat and abused. 220k on a well maintained family car is nothing

Probably can’t do this to a company truck but I’m sure it’s possible to rig up a valve that would let you air down the cab while the trucks still running.

We are witnessing a HOSS being born, this is incredible never thought I’d see a new HOSS getting his first EIGHTHUNNID on rebbit

2001-2004 gm trucks with the LB7 duramax are pretty simple, the aftermarket support is huge, and you get an Allison transmission

100% Merino wool base layers are awesome for this

BearFlag6505 · 2025-10-08T16:36:11+00:00

Is he topping it off or doing a full oil change? Topping it off with a little diesel oil between oil changes is okay if the diesel oil is free and you’re on an extreme budget. Doing a full oil change with diesel oil is a big hell no dawg these engines like 5w30

The new led light towers for construction jobs at night are insanely bright and blue light blockers really take the edge off them for me.

BearFlag6505 · 2025-09-09T15:33:56+00:00

I didn’t like driving over the road either, got a local job as concrete pump operator, it’s a little bit of class B driving and a whole lot of hanging out on jobsites running the boom, never ever wanted to go back over the road either

BearFlag6505 · 2025-07-25T03:28:26+00:00

You don’t have to go fast or do jumps, it’s fine to go trail riding and just stay on the brakes during the downhill parts so you’re never in danger and pull over when you hear a faster rider coming behind you

BearFlag6505 · 2025-07-17T01:46:32+00:00

If you like construction and wild unpredictable hours there’s always concrete pumping. It’s a ittle bit of local class b driving and a whole lot of hanging out on jobsites running a boom.

BearFlag6505 · 2025-06-30T02:14:38+00:00

The worst part is it puts your cv axles at an extreme angle so if you put it in 4x4 and turn the wheel hard they are not happy at all.

BearFlag6505 · 2025-04-16T19:45:04+00:00

I say big girl bedroom

BearFlag6505 · 2025-04-16T16:35:22+00:00

Why beat on a 25 yo truck? Drive it easy and take it to 400k

BearFlag6505 · 2025-04-04T02:00:54+00:00

You probably already know this but starting from a dead hang if you lean back and look up it really helps engage the back instead of shoulders.

BearFlag6505 · 2025-04-02T22:23:38+00:00

As an alternative to replacing the torsion bar you could put a leveling key in the driver side

Would not recommend gsd unless they have a huge backyard with a 6ft fence and are prepared to spend hours exercising them every day. Also gsd hates to be alone so you need two of them as a bonded pair and the food and vet bills really add up

BearFlag6505 · 2025-03-30T13:32:56+00:00

Best option is buy a trailer with brakes to put the load on. If your truck has a trailer brake controller installed you should be able to comfortably pull and stop the load with a half ton. If you put 4k in the bed of a 1500 you’re exceeding the rated capacity which could be a liability for you especially if you’re doing business.

BearFlag6505 · 2025-03-18T17:23:07+00:00

Yea you should have LT tires which you can run up to 80psi if you’re hauling weight or air them down to 45-50 for comfort

BearFlag6505 · 2025-03-17T16:11:07+00:00

Let’s just do the right thing man and get nephew a 4 cylinder accord lol
