I love the sound of an earlier Powerstroke working. This one sounds like my 2001 7.3 nothing fazed it. With the 6 speed there was always another gear. 266,000 miles and all it ever needed was 2 batteries an alternator and a clutch. This driver should have walked the drop site before getting to it.
That was great driving by the container delivery guy. Having driven over 2 million miles over North America with 12 years of that being pickup and delivery, I can totally understand what he went through to get the job done. Most people don't understand that trailers backing up respond differently than pulling forward and in this case with the extremely tight road and corners, he did pretty good. Thank God, it wasn't raining or snowing while this was going on.
Hopefully the driver received a tip. He deserves one. Very nice. Congratulations! As someone said yesterday "don't be surprised if the truck driver asks you to trim some more trees."
Having owned a container that I used for storage I highly recommend that you put venting in it or you will have problems with condensation, I have had meny things destroyed by dampness coursed by this. Cheers
I had a friend that ran over that type of road fabric in his one ton Dodge dully, his back tire picked it up and it wrapped itself around the back set of duels on the drivers side and it took over an hour to get the truck back on the road. Damage to the emergency break bracket was extensive and expensive. Just letting you know.
EXACTLY my thoughts on this ... Scott could have been a BIG help with the Kubota "steering" the rear of the trailer around the curve. The videos are great (leave them up to Kelly) but Scott needed to "pitch-in" with this difficult situation rather than being a spectator. He's usually a nice guy with good common sense, but missed an opportunity here.
I knew the tractor was out of commission. I was saying that along the lines of, "It's too bad the tractor is down, 'cause it would have been helpful. "
If u ever have along trailer come up in there again get ur buddy’s tractor & a couple straps u can pick the back of the trailer up & steer it for them! Then it’s just like he’s only backing a truck up! We do this all the time with wide loads & such!
This is why ford Tough stands above the rest! ..thats a 40 footer yall not no 20 footer...and let's not forget its not just the container he's hauling.
I'm considering using a container to move my stuff 300 miles, I cannot for the life of me figure out who/how I can call for quotes about how to haul it for me?
@@joe4324 I looked around for something like that too, my move got delayed but I never did have any luck. Someone could really fill a void there and make a lot of money.
18:12 - {Kelly} _"does he need your help up there, so he can see in the front or on the side?"_ Probably but, let's watch him work on it for a minute, first- this is entertaining (we've all been on both sides of this kind of scenario) - lol That guy was probably glad to get the hell out of there in one piece-
I cant believe it was so cheap. Seems like it would be worth more just in scrap especially since half the price is for delivery. Or atleast it should be
jeep2003 it doesn’t exactly fit in a car crusher and a shredder that size couldn’t make money on container fare alone especially after paying for shipping back from its destination in rural Tennessee. Paying a crew of guys with cutting torches to get it to a size to scrap couldn’t be cheap. Probably could go at it with a huge grapple but those probably have higher paying jobs and you still have to pay an experienced operator.
Scrap metal prices are .03 per 100 lbs in our area right now. a 40' container weights 8,000 lbs give or take with the wood floor in it. So that container would bring next to nothing.
Time to mount a trailer ball on the top of your tractor bucket. You could of unpinned his trailer and turned it around for him with the tractor then repinned. You'll never run out of uses for a 2" ball on the bucket for moving gooseneck and bumper hitch trailers around in tight spaces.
I hope you tipped that driver ! That was asking a lot for a delivery. Site preparation could of been better. The corona has been letting you get so much done, going to be a great place.
Scott, that was interesting to watch. I feel like the driver did a pretty good job getting that large container into the spot you prepared, and most comments seem to agree. But a few, as usual, were critical. You had said in a previous video that you had laid out and cleared the area so that it should not be too difficult to back it in. Since a 40-ft container is probably 8,000-9,000 lbs, and the delivery was made with a Ford pickup, don't you think he did pretty good? Your property does offer a few challenges for delivery trucks (or visiting buses)... 😏
that ford is a work horse. that 7.3 Powerstroke runs like new. & no not all o reilly make them, only some make hydraulic hoses. & i always have good luck with them for hydraulic hoses.
It really annoys me when I see a driver beating the shit out of their transmission when they have a perfectly good low range option that gives way more flexibility and doesn't frag the torque converter and boil the fluid.
At a Tare weight of 8,200 lbs, that container is heavy. No wonder that truck was straining to move and laboring up the hill. I'm surprised it slid off of the trailer with just the back end resting on the 4 x 4. Quite a set up that delivery guy's company has. Talk about a strong 5th wheel hitch. As tall as it was, it took a lot of bending moment pulling and pushing that trailer over uneven ground. What a stark contrast to the HOA back in Avon. Here you are free to do as you please and enjoy life.
Wow, you sure made the guy earn his money today, I hope you made him a coffee afterwards. Great job anyway, oh, are you thinking of painting the container green to blend in with the plant life? Your new place is coming along nicely. Regards Dave int he UK.
Did anyone notice around 7:55~8:10 That little pixie fairy flying round there. I'm sure all it was, was a moth in the sunshine. But the effect on camera looked really cool.

That’s a nice tractor but I’m surprised you don’t have a Oliver with a two-stroke Detroit on it. May need to add one of those to your fleet For road maintenance and stuff lol.
Hey Scott, just had a thought.... if you don't sell one of your rooftop a/c's you could put one on the container if you wanted to work on something inside.... Having lived in TN I know the summers are very hot and humid.... lol's Great job on the installation of the container...
Hey we own a towing business and since you love the MCI buses we impounded one and it’s been sitting there for 5-6 years it’s around 1971 pink and grey if you know anyone who likes these and is willing to buy please comment back please for more info.
Neighbour must appreciate the work you’ve done to the Kubota. My friends love to lend me things like a truck. They know at the very least, they get back a truck freshly washed, with a full tank of gas
You could've maybe picked up the back of the empty trailer and made it easier to get out. Just thinking out loud. Definitely paint the connex camouflage
The shipping container is a modern day version of a 44 gallon drum. Can be reused but has a limit of times Gets soiled and can’t be used for certain items Sold for alternate use eg storage or modified for housing. 44 gallon drum may be dog house used oil But if top and bottom cut off and side cut an flattened For sheets nailed to timber as wall sheathing and roof sheets put though a corrugated roller. The sheets would equal out to be eight feet long. Sometimes if container to old for a high grade product return to expensive to return empty. This is not happening today but tradition building product for NZ is corrugated Iron is used allot. Called now any length , long run iron.
If this is a semi-permanent installation you need some concrete foundation posts, not the bits of timber it is supported on, which will rot out. Also, the underside of the container needs a barrier to vegetation growth, which will create moisture in the ply flooring, causing it to rot and that is notwithstanding that the underside of the container will provide an excellent habitat for vermin.
You now have a tornado shelter,[ Lash it down some concrete plugs,made with sauna tubes ,about 3.5 feet deep* 1 foot in diameter, on all four corners,with re barb eye hooks & large cables,hydraulically crimped. * And a storage hut , *BBQ shack ! ! Enjoy Ps : Put in some harbor freight solar lights .Buy a pit bull don't feed it a lot, as trailer mascot.
That storage will come in handy. I will be putting one of those at my farm pretty soon. I see you used geofrabric on the drive way. That is a good move.

My delivery quote is $800 for a 1 hour drive. He can take his tip out of that.
I'd like to see the look on that drivers face when he got to the top of the hill. He's probably thinking you got a bus up here? How?
That driver must have cused you out for that difficult terrain.
The pickup driver earned his keep. That was a hard drive. The F-350 engine sounded ferocious going up the steep hill.
Yep, that Powerstroke was talkin’......
A Cummins would have done better.
Must admit the Powerstroke sounded great hauling that up the hill too bad the transmission parted ways 🤭
@@johnmccallister1869 Only if it were a manual. The rest of the shipping crate woulda fell apart. 😉
@@johnmccallister1869 Gotta love the Ram vs Ford comments. Then when a Dirtymax user says something, both Ram and Ford owners bash them. :D
Hey Scott,
Look up another RUclips page Andrew Camarata. He built a shop/ home, on a castle theme, based on shipping containers
That is an amazing piece of work.
It’s really cool about 15mi of welds though and he owns/buys every piece of heavy equipment you’d need in the process.
I've been following his channel for a couple years. Smart guy.
Having owned a container that I used for storage I highly recommend that you put venting in it or you will have problems with condensation, I have had meny things destroyed by dampness coursed by this. Cheers
yes put a vent on each end .
They need to have spray foam on the ceiling. They will rain inside from condensation, depending on weather.
Nice to meet people how know what they are doing. :-)
Was wondering if the driver thought that concrete pad was his drop off point when he first drove up.
Now you're going to have to paint the container green (or cammo) so it doesn't stick out so much in the trees!
Paint the top white
The delivery guy deserves a medal.
The hotshot earned his money delivering the can!......good job!
irongoatrocky agreed, these guys rarely charge enough to warrant the difficulty and risk of damage to the rig.
When he saw where it was going... He was thinking... "You have to fn' kidding me... There goes my profit for the day..."

Now it's off to Aamco for a new transmission.

You should’ve poured concrete under that that would cause it once that settles That shipping container going to lean
I was thinking the same thing
This poor guy would never make it backing a big pontoon boat down our super steep curved 150' boat ramp!
The kubota wanted to be a 2 stroke and mark it's spot like Lenny. 🤠

@@BusGreaseMonkeyWhich are impossible to fix?
Sweet! I just got my 3 containers delivered last week. Always exciting!
There's a blue stone called dolemite and it absorbs oil it's larger than gravel maybe use it around where you park the buses 👍
I use to work in an electric substation and we used dolomite because the transformers can leak and the dolomite will absorb oil

If you're going to be working on buses and that you got to clear out some trees put out some flat areas where people can move around just saying
There are a lot of flat areas.
Great delivery by the driver and great leveling by Scott! Congrats, guys!
Prop to that driver, People that operate with a higher IQ Put their perspectives on a pedestal, a d,,n good driver there.
He was definitely working that Ford. Ford trucks are made to be work horses. Lol
