What have you done to your HEMTT/PLS/MK48 this week

[gimpyrobb]

As long as you hook up so his brakes function, I'd do it to get him to a safe spot. Just remember how big that load is!

So locally we have a guy with a hemtt. The only other MV's around here are m35's. If he broke down, I would assume we shouldn't even attempt it even just to get him off the roadway to a safe spot?? The hemtt is what? 38k lbs?

As long as you can connect brakes you should be fine to get to safe spot. Would move slow and cautiously and you would be fine.

Last question (i promise): at my work when we have a truck break down if we need to move it but the air tanks are empty, we can hook up the glad hands together from one truck to the other to air up the dead truck. Will this work with the hemtt from a deuce so the hemtt has temporary air brakes?

 

[gimpyrobb]

It should

It is AMASSING what can be found in the -10 ( operators manual), EVEN neat stuff like "HOW TO TOW THE TRUCK", it is a wonder some can even find the start switch.

Ken,
It takes GREAT effort to to keep the KGR on top, at times it is NOT worth the energy, being the number of truck owners asking -10 questions lately, I have come to the conclusion that I am not going to waste my time on trying to KEEP the KGR up front, if someone does not like my -10 statement about finding neat stuff in the -10, then READ the -10 BEFORE asking a -10 question.

Can a medium tow bar be used for a m931 to hemtt?

In a emergency ONLY, the med. is rated at 39,000 lbs, the 8x8 weighs a lot more then that.

In the -10 it don't mention if I can tow a hemtt with my M1008. Is this safe?

You'd need an air compressor. Haha

Get a heavy and a friend or two.

Right I assumed that was the most appropriate but speaking as far as road side break down emergency to tow home, assuming the obvious of utilizing hemtt brakes.

I'm not sure what amassing is? That must be another -10 term I'm not familiar with.
As previously mentioned, i'm not the one that owns a hemtt, another local guy does. I was inquiring in case I might ever have to help another MV'er out in a pinch. Thanks.

NOT safe but can be done in a have to, the only reason it is NOT in the -10 is because the writers of the -10 did not think anyone was DUMB enough to try to tow a HEMMT down the road with a 1008. I know a member that towed a 4 wheel HEMMT trailer about 600 miles from hood with his wife's excursion, not the brightest move for two reasons, #1 the trailer was just a bit heavy for the excursion and #2, his wife FOUND out AFTER the fact what he did and the after conversation on the merits of this idea was not good.

Have you seen this? Pretty cool. The drive by at 1:15 is kind of psycho though.

Loved that vid; thanks for the treat. Are these guys Steel Soldiers?

My favorite was the Watermelon Wagon (somewhere in minute #2 or #3). What a hoot!

 

[Elideclan2]

Wow!

Psycho or a complete DUMB $hit. It is because of these types of iditots that it is getting harder to buy, insure and register these big trucks. That FPU should have NEVER been driven on the streets without a back half. It still never seizes to amaze me the stupidity of some people!
