The t880, has proven itself as an absolute solid workhorse platform from KW. We run a fleet of 5, and the only gripe is when I finally get my seat set nice and low, there isn't any air-ride left in it. What the hell? Sure do wish they would have kept the t-800 seat and arm-rest configuration in these cabs.

You know I get a kick out of all these Hot Shots on here talking about that ain't nothing. Or the ones that say try that without chains. Can anybody these days give credit where credit is due. It takes a skilled driver to maintain speed and know how quickly his box is rising and have the chains set at the right gap in order to lay it like those drivers did. Why is it in the business of heavy equipment and construction there's always got to be Johnny's on the spot that are criticizing everybody. These guys in those dump trucks been doing this awhile and know their business give them some credit

AGREED! I used to drive tri axle dumps spreading stone like this. I knew how many chain links it took to set the gate properly for whatever thickness the operator was asking for on the dump. And I'd bet those drivers in this video could very easily do the same job while driving in reverse...I did - I did a fair amount of what's called 'chip on tar' hauling - you had to dump the stone chips on fresh sprayed tar while doing so in reverse.

When every truck can spread like this, i would loose my Job graderoperator and need my grader anymore. The Problem is that not enough material for grading, so i like to have more gravel for my blade. For reparing roads it might be ok, but when i have to built in higher, i need lots of gravel for my grader, i push sometimes 2000 tons gravel a day. We in Germany use graders like dozers, because we all have front blades.

It's not that difficult once you get it down right. You just lift enough and move the same way as these drivers but don't lift the bed as high initially. Once the materials start slowing down, having the bed at about 1/3 to half way up should evenly dump at least the larger stones such as number 3 and a bit more up for the 21A and take off in 1st gear too. Just don't slam your tailgate inside a tunnel though, they hate that, lol. I did it multiple times dumping both 21A and number 3 stone for the new CSX railroad tracks they are building underneath the 11th and M St area in Washington DC.
