First time I've got to tow a mixer so I thought I'd go ahead and post it. Only a little left in the drum, nothing special to it just haven't posted in awhile and thought this was somewhat worthy.

Nice job. I usually tow those from the bumper. Use medium forks inward of frame where the braces tie into the pull plate. A heavy rubber square with 2 tabs cut each end lays inside the fork to keep from scratching bumper. Gives more clearance & you aren't lifting as much weight.

Nice job. The U-bolt forks work great on those as well.

tow 'em any way I can get 'em. You got enough machine for it, looks good to boot.... take a little pressure off your 3rd, will give you a little more steer if you need it. Working at the company you are at you'll be great in no time.

Kim02 - You took the words out of my mouth- that method saves lifting twice blocking up wheels etc too.

 

Nice looking truck Waffco. How do you like the roll up doors?

ProTower, while this is one of the older topic that are being recreated from Tow411. It is likely we will see either Kim02 or Waffco on this new message board known as TowForce. Several long time members are slowly returning to the only active message board in the industry. You just can't replace to type of topic and dialog in any other format.

 

Hey @Kim02 & @Waffco Joe are you guys out there? or better yet are you in here?
