Rolla, ND | Running around cleaning grain I get to see quite a few different ones.
I really like the front pushers.
If you have a rear pusher, that means when the box is up, you are holding the load on the bags on the pusher axle. If it's not level, you lean, and lean, and it twists the box something terrible. Or if you pop a bag you just go over.
With a front pusher, you either on the springs on the back which won't lean as much with an uneven load or level, or, if the truck is all air, you dump all the air and let the truck sit on the frame. Both much more stable than those air bags.
The other thing is steering, now if you get it perfect and if every load is perfect, you don't see much difference, but I've run into a lot of triples that if things aren't perfect they are so light on the front you can't steer. Front pushers never have that problem.
If everything is perfect it doesn't make much difference, front pushers are much more forgiving of everything isn't perfect. | |
