This was a really cool project, FEVA had never built one before on an all wheel drive Kenworth

Kenworth, nice, do the driver and passenger sit shoulder to shoulder? Or can you actually fit three guys in it?

Cab is much smaller then the internationals. Our guys end up riding 3 deep a few times a year. I think that's a fair tradeoff to get a bucket with a real diesel motor in it

brendonv · Mar 17, 2013

Why such a small cab guard? The whole hood is exposed isn't it? Are all their hydro tanks mounted back there?

MarquisTree · Mar 17, 2013

we order the short guards for all of our rear mounts, the full sized ones get in the way too much. There is a hyd tank mounted on the back deck

Got ya, just curious. Good luck with it, I like the chassis. Didn't know KW had a factory 4x4

That new bucket truck is sweet, the new crane on your facebook page is very impressive also.

Good luck with those investments, make some $$$$$$

Very nice! I have been interested in a side dump for a while.

brendonv · Apr 11, 2013

That's neat. IS the headache rack aluminum too? I love aluminum.

classictruckman · Apr 11, 2013

yes, it is aluminum

Jeff_Cochran · Apr 11, 2013

This is my bucket, although i'm going to sell it and put a fat down payment on a crane.

brendonv · Apr 11, 2013

Well that tells the rest of the story. Chipper on the back, neato!

classictruckman · Apr 12, 2013

yes and the real genius of the design is that the chipper powers the lift, so its not burning on-road diesel in the big truck engine, it uses off-road in the small fuel efficent cummins in the chipper

CreTree · Apr 12, 2013

Yah and its just like this.

Jasonk · Apr 12, 2013

Very nice! Efficiency is key and I think that nails it. Should last for many years!

not quite, there's no hydraulic pump on that chipper that runs a bucket

CreTree · Apr 12, 2013

Good point. This is a truck owned by a friend of mine in Ny. Ingenious rig honestly. Chipper table is a little high. Very functional.
Does your chipper rotate or is it fixed in that position. Excellent use of the pump for the lift!

classictruckman · Apr 12, 2013

its fixed, I am going to start a thread dedicated to the build, but its gonna have to wait until next week, since most of the pics are on my work computer.
