    In depth video on hauling grain to the elevator!! As requested, I've been trying to make my videos longer. What do you think?! We haul all of our Kentucky grain to a local elevator with two 85' R Model Macks and two 41' Wilson hopper bottoms. I do not have a CDL, as it is not required to have one with farm tags within 150 miles of the home farm. What's something you saw in this video that you didn't expect?!

    Those old Macks are great. We have several of the older U, R, RD, and CH models still in our fleet. We don't use them for our OTR tractors to haul combinations (which we do a lot of), but we DO stretch the chassis on them and mount equipment bodies, where they then go out onto industrial sites and perform work. You could drive one with a Class B. In those applications, they don't guzzle nearly as much fuel as they would over the road, except to the extent that they idle high to power a PTO. We keep them though, because they're ultra reliable, simple, and you can still get most of the parts for them, even at 40 years and older. Hell, we've recently ordered windown felts for a U model, and that's older than the one you're driving here. You can easily order replacement knobs and linkage and all those other obscure items that are typically the first parts to become discontinuted. There's even new/old stock out there. Those trucks rock.
