sounds like he's very excited for this truck!

[@25mfd]

a VERY, VERY nice rig for a vollie dept

[@thewitchhat5253]

Thank you

[@aaammmaaaccc]

This exact rig drives past my office every day - beautiful! Can't believe I found a video of it!

[@thewitchhat5253]

And I get to see this tiller almost everyday now

[@ph11p3540]

This is a very generously sponsored volunteer fire department.

[@thewitchhat5253]

I love this tiller

[@SkaMaRtiSt1991]

Yasss! I love a tiller

[@DByers-ci5kr]

If a volunteer agency can have ladders trucks, heavy rescues, etc, why not a TDA if that's what they feel is best for their streets. As you can see, Loudoun County, VA, just west of DC, has some money. Very pretty area too. Not at all like the area east of DC.

Such an enormous truck and only 107' ladder ...

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

@Wood Duck I don't know how long this Tiller Truck is on the road, but the American 100' mid-mount ladders are on a comparable large truck chassis where we have Aerials in the 170' range. The Tiller is longer for sure, but I don't know if it's a longer or shorter truck than the ones with a 300' range over here. Our 105' rear-mount Tower Ladders are based on a very compact truck chassis to gain a great maneuverability, maybe even better than a Tiller

[@nicholasdunkel8943]

Tiller for a volunteer department?

[@f0rumrr]

And that paint job, lol, that was not cheap.

[@pos26258]

Leesburg is a large volunteer fire department in Loudoun County Va. They have live-ins and have no issues with staffing, they also have 2 stations. This truck is replacing another tiller.

[@thewitchhat5253]

That tiller went to my county

[@daviemccallum7759]

Nice unit

[@HighOnLife1985]

What makes an Ascendant tiller ladder different from a regular tiller? They seem to be built the same way.

[@henryjt2377]

I believe it’s just the model

[@gmangaming3258]

ive been in this tiller before

[@seymourscagnetti4757]

Did Ya'll put weather stripping on the compartment doors? LAFD got fucked on that one.

[@brennancrumb835]

what are the ground pads for

[@FeartheCyr611]

To distribute the weight of the outriggers
If they didn't use the pads the legs would sink into the ground or asphalt and make it uneven

[@brennancrumb835]

James Cyr now I understand why they use ground pads

[@bradyoehler9714]

I saw this get in a truck i was in at fdic he just poked his head in and left

[@studinthemaking]

Does it have any n board water storage?

[@robloxer6808]

Lol no why would it🤣🤣
