The vents are only for dumping. Tractor trailers will implode with out vents when they ramp them into the sky.- frashdog

Review of Chainsaw Pants
Step up in durability, yes. The gladiators are a heavier and more durable material. They weigh more and breath less.- frashdog

Review of Chainsaw Pants
Awesome Steve! The pfanner ventilation pants are cooler then the gladiator ventilations. The ventilation pants are also better for climbing. Stretch and fit. The current pfanner ventilation pants are my choice over the stein Krieger and pfanner gladiator ventilations. Have not tried the...- frashdog

I bend gold and silver rings from pure strength. I cut and toss a lot. I was told most ambulance and emergency rooms have ring cutters. With regards to brittle metal. So...if you damage your finger and can not get the ring off. You would just grab a hammer or rock and hit your ring. How hard...- frashdog

a problem for me is, My knuckles are much bigger then my fingers. Ring is hard to get on to start then it is loose. Soon as I start to work, my knuckles start to swell. I was taking the ring off in the beginning, that's why I bought several, simple, cheap like $7 a peace surgical stainless...- frashdog

Another close call with working on the road
Usually with our 1890 one guy is curb side operating the throat and feed bar. Other guy is stuffing the throat, attempting to choke it out, with a mini. The sena head sets also help a lot with road safety.- frashdog

Another close call with working on the road
Years ago I worked for NYS DOT as a flagger for 6 months. Got schooled and certified. Our crew was 4 guys two 1/2ton pick ups a bunch of signs and radios. We had to assess the curves, hills and other blind spots with respect to our work sites as where to set up the signs. This was before cell...- frashdog

International 4300 "super singles"?
We have flotation steers on our 4900 bucket truck. They do help. They don't "cut in" like narrow tires do. Still, nothing compares to ground pro. We live in farm country around here. The big farms drive tractor trailers and other trucks out in the fields when harvesting silage and spreading...- frashdog

Looking for advice on a bucket truck.
Hey there bud. Plattsburgh, Since 14 years old and I'm 41 now. With buckets, the rear mounts are the ticket. Mid mount elevators with only two out riggers can put some mighty force on the front wheels, I understand capable of damaging drive ways. Local guy around here has a forestry body...- frashdog

Looking for advice on a bucket truck.
Ucf machine shop out of Pa has really good o-ringed heads for the 6.0. Custom valve guides and seats. They even sleeve the injector cups prone to cracking. Reasonably priced. We just traded in our 06 6.0 f350 for the new 6.7. We had a cracked injector cup in the 6.0 and almost dropped $6k to...- frashdog

One piece of advice.
Dude I got a bunch of voices. I'm ok with them too, they can be very entertaining and imaginative. Like little devils and angels wispering in to my ears. Some times just demons trying to feeding my ego while my ego suppresses my true self from making a good choice. I've heard we can only have...- frashdog

One piece of advice.
Yer chain saw is like a light saber, mistakes are stitches. That said, my worst cuts are from hand saws cause I was not afraid of them. Check yourself, when you climb. Check yourself, when you cut. Talk with yourself, when you check yourself. Listen to yourself, not your demons.- frashdog
