New salt spreader pics!!

[mrsops]

Just picked it up today and good thing i did where supposed to get a few inches tonight. Smith 4.5 to 5 yd stainless steel electric spreader.

[KCfireman]

very nice purchase, and btw, that truck is a beast.

[Junior M]

Do you put a plow on the F650's to?

[mrsops]

very nice purchase, and btw, that truck is a beast.

Thank you very much!! Yes this truck is a Beast

[mrsops]

Do you put a plow on the F650's to?

No i don't junior. I plow and salt some tight areas a plow on that truck would just make it difficult to turn and maneuver

[KCfireman]

Thank you very much!! Yes this truck is a Beastyour welcome. I bet that baby can push some snow. Shouldnt have to many problems with plowing and suppension on that thing.

[mrsops]

Took a quick picture of my shop and my truck before i left

[Junior M]

Never heard of Smith Vboxes but it looks nice(I like stainless:clapping:). It's all electric? The Fisher I had was a Honda and it ran good but the electric would be nice, no noise and no messing with gas cans. Are you going to cover the top with something? Have you ever used Magic treated sand/salt?

[kreft]

Make sure you get some pics of that beast in action!!!

yes all electric.. I sold my western with a gas engine its just became a pain after a while filling it up with gas checking the oil then hoping it starts in the freezing weather where it did most of the time because i kept it in my shop but still more to go wrong and yes its def noisy. I will keep it inside my shop. What is magic treated sand/salt?

[all ferris]

Wouldn't it have been cheaper to just get a tailgate spreader?

I thinks the most trouble free system to have would be hydraulic.

[mrsops]

yeah it was cheaper to get a tailgate spreader the thing i don't like about the tailgate spreader is you have to to pick the bed up as you go, one wrong move and your can cause a lot of damage. Other thing with the tailgate spreader is you have the salt loaded in the dump truck sitting there all day and night compared to it sitting in the spreader not rotting away everything :laugh:. I already have a hydraulic speader as well one my 3 yard dump truck

Probably I would guess but I personally don't like the up/down with the box. Once things are all set with a Vbox it is poetry.

Magic is some brown molasses type stuff you spray on sand or salt and is supposed to work in colder temps and not be as corrosive. If you do it to their specs you can spread sand or salt at much lower rates and sometimes have a residual effect which can save on material. I have played with it, never did too much as it was hard to get a hold of here.

I had a tarp made for my sander but would make a hard piano hinged cover on the next one. I kinda miss sanding, probably the biggest money maker in snow removal.

hey stuvecorp do you know what i can spray in my dump truck so the salt does not rot everything?

[Junior M]

Umm what about some Rhino liner?

[mrsops]

Umm what about some Rhino liner?

yeah i heard about that junior anybody know of anything better

[GradeMan]

Why wouldn't you buy a sander that fit your box in length?

Use fluid film twice a year, it does a great job

[stuvecorp]

hey stuvecorp do you know what i can spray in my dump truck so the salt does not rot everything?

I forget but I thought I heard that Fluid Film would help protect it. I think there is a guy on here you could ask.

[Junior M]

His name is Dano50, he's a member of HEF to..

That is the biggest electric speader you can put on my truck its 10' long that bed is 14'

[AintNoFun]

yeah i heard about that junior anybody know of anything better


when i used to plow/salt i used Por15 on everything, worked great you can't break the stuff up with a hammer once it hardens..

[all ferris]

Maybe spray the inside of bed down with diesel?

[Gravel Rat]

Use fluid film you can get it in 5 gallon pails and use a pesticide sprayer to get the back of the truck just don't get overspray around the brake drums :laugh:

You can't use a tailgate spreader on a contractors box the sides are too low and beside the fact its hard on the dump hinge pins with the box tilted up.

The highways maintenance contractor here uses slip ins in the 5 tons, tail gate spreaders haven't been used for years.

Don't use diesel fuel it stinks too much if you get it on your clothes when your at the back of the truck then your going to smell it all day in the cab.

Anyway you slice it rock salt rots and rusts steel nothing you can do about it.

[bobcat_ron]

I take it you have a salt pile kicking around?

[mrsops]

I take it you have a salt pile kicking around?

yeah i keep it stored away in one of my containers

[bobcat_ron]

yeah i keep it stored away in one of my containers

Holy hell, that's a smart idea!
Then it gets loaded by one of the bigger skids, but I noticed the salt box is narrower than the box of your truck, does the skid steer have enough forward reach to load?

[mrsops]

Holy hell, that's a smart idea!

yeah it has room ronnie

You must know it all???? We use tailgate spreaders here all the time. State uses them, contractors use them. The sides of his bed are plenty tall as I'm sure if he loaded it to the top of the rails he would be close to max load weight??? He does have side boards.

And the only reason I say to use diesel is that it is cheap and available.

People that own bobcat equipment are usually smarter than other different brand owners :rolleyes: :laugh:

I like that junior

[bobcat_ron]

But then they find out how "smart" they were with Bobcat, so they switch to Cat, and they become pure genius like myself and other Cat owners.

[Junior M]

Mrsops, funny thing is your a mixture of both..

Keep thinking that Boobcat Ronnie...


:laugh: :laugh:

[ksss]

Ahh but the really smart, top shelf owners run Power Tan. They know a HD, quality product when they run one. We do more work by noon than CAT/BC owners do all day.:weightlifter:

Pssh, more like Case, I could move more dirt with 3 shovel fulls than the bucket on that 420CT we rented could, that thing brought a whole new meaning to low profile

[mrsops]

:laugh: you didnt like the 420 junior

[Junior M]

:laugh: you didnt like the 420 junior
I liked the controls, and visibility of the cutting edge, the cab was comfortable, more room to stretch out, I didnt like the dash, everything was cramped together and black so it was hard to see. I hated getting in the cab and that stupid squeeling noice, Oh, and the visibililty out of the rear and sides sucked! and it was really underpowered,, so over all it was an okay machine...

[ksss]

OK since you called me on it and your right, I say this "We do more work by noon than BC owners do by 1500 hours and more than CAT machines do all day."

Am I not Mercifull!:drinkup:

[ksss]

Yea but are they not nice to cut grade with?

Yeah that was a good one ksss considering you almost changed colors when you ran a BOBCAT S220 i got you on that 1 :drinkup:

[mrsops]

Yea but are they not nice to cut grade with?

ksss let me ask you this your going to tell me you thought your case had better visibility to the sides and and rear then the bobcat s220?? The front is the same i know that

[ksss]

True, but us Bobcat/Cat people are just too busy looking good while we work. :laugh:


So its all about the "Bling". CASE machines are sexy......In fact just last night I took some of my favorite CASE propoganda literature into the bathroom and ........................:weightlifter:

[Junior M]

Really, really nice. But for hogging dirt to backfill a pool, its like loading a full size dump with an 8in bucket..

That was to much KSSS!!!

[mrsops]

My thread got high jacked over here this was suppose to be about spreading salt junior start another thread about this please :laugh:

[ksss]

Well you have to spec the bucket to the job. I have 6 dirt buckets for 2 machines. Bucket size and configuration is a major overlooked area when getting the most out of your machine.

I dont think NEFF rental was to concerned about what bucket we got at 6:30 on a Saturday morning when there not even suppose to be there..

Sorry, mrsops, its all my fault... I'll push the blame off on KSSS!

[ksss]

Yeah that was a good one ksss considering you almost changed colors when you ran a BOBCAT S220 i got you on that 1 :drinkup:

I give you an inch and you take a mile. :laugh: The 220 was the closest BC has ever come to getting me to switch, however that does not mean that it was close enough to make it a difficult choice between the two. Running them both side by side the CASE was more precise in the controls and put more power to the ground. It recovered much faster and felt more nimble.

I don't find any difference in the side view between the two. They are built almost the same. There really is not 2 cents of difference between the two in visibility to the side. As far as visibility to the rear the CASE has a much lower cowling than does the BC. Allowing for a better sight line. The S-3 machines are really sloped and impoves visibility even more.

C'mon, you are making this way too easy! :cool2:

JR., I don't think the squeeling noise was the machine. Isn't hearing something squeeling (like a pig) fairly common in your neck of the woods?:cool2::clapping:

AHH no. I utilized it for visual stimulation. I save my CAT propaganda for wiping my ass. Now that I mention it, its time to stop back at CAT and get stocked up again.:clapping:

Only bout once a week though when some idiot canoers (<sp?) come down the creek.. :laugh:

I've never heard it every 45min for a day...

[mrsops]

Got to use the spreader all night tonight works great!!! electric all the way i will never by another gas spreader ever

[mrsops]

Did a little upgrading to my new spreader check it out added a nice mattress frame with some heavy duty plastic it stops all the salt from shooting all on my hitch, mudflaps and especially underneath my truck where it will rot it out big time. Also put 2 strobes on each side of the truck cant wait to take pics of it in action. O yeah i took a pic of a couple of white beauty's as well :laugh:

[Junior M]

The wheels and tires on the 330 look way to big for the size of machine..

And where do you get the plows? Is it like a boss or western or some other brand plow that you get a quick tach plate for? Or is it a specially made just for a machine?

[mrsops]

The wheels and tires on the 330 look way to big for the size of machine..

:laugh::laugh: That's the standard size 14
