It's still in good shape and was kept clean. How many yards does it hold?

Nice ride gant. I've never seen a chute rack like that. Looks cool. I only find one fault. I don't see a massive air horn. Every mixer needs a massive airhorn.

We've had 12.5 in them before.but they're rated at 13.. 10 yards doesnt even come close to filling these things up... our whole fleet at my plant are Volvo's with Kimble mixers.. great trucks.. and the airhorn is under the cab of the truck.. ill have to make a video of it, it is insanly loud.. kinda like a train horn..but only one trumpet |

Nice! Guess you don't need a chute shutter with a 13 yard capacity, huh?

Very cool, dude. I can't wait to get another truck. Bouncing around sucks.
concretejoe - We've got those chute racks too. They're great until they bow out, then your chutes fall on the ground.

13 cu yds!!!! thats nearly 10 m3 this side of the water. Our 6 wheelers manage 6m3 at 26 ton and the 8 wheelers struggle to carry 8 m3 at 32 ton ( our legal limits) .What kind of gross weight is that running at then

That's nearly 10 m3 on this side of the water too, but we don't bother with that metric hocus pocus ;D
