We finished up the last project so we got started on the next one. We went to the quarry over on Donaldson Road and picked up a load of rock dust. We got 2.4 tons, it may have been a bit much for the 1/2 ton truck. I had to take off the trailer hitch because it was dragging. And the loader operator filled our tires with air. They didn't look low on air until we got the load on. We want to put it in the barn in the low spot by the roll door. Of course the barn is on top of the hill. We'll have to leave the truck down there and haul the rock with four wheeler and dump cart.
Big loader.
Emptiness.
Here it comes.
Rock dust is quite dusty. It isn't really dust. This place calls it Class A sand. It is geologically identical to the rock in our driveway, just a finer product.
Low rider. Cheech and Chong would be proud.
That's what 2.4 tons looks like.
You have a lot of faith in your suspension. I never put more than 1.75 tons in my half ton truck.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was more than I should have put on there. The loader guy actually stopped at was probably around 1.75 and I told him to dump his bucket. We didn't have to go far and no highway driving.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't make it up the driveway either. It was kind of scary how low it was sitting. I'd be afraid of something breaking!
