Sany SY35U Mini Excavator Gravel Driveway Maintenance. In this video, we take a look at the Sany SY35U mini excavator in action as it tackles some gravel driveway maintenance. The compact size of the SY35U makes it perfect for working in tight spaces, such as driveways, and its powerful engine and hydraulic system ensure that it can handle even the toughest tasks. We start off by using the excavator to clear away any loose gravel and debris from the driveway surface. Next, we use the bucket to level out the gravel and fill in any low spots. We also use the excavator to create a sloped edge along the side of the driveway to help drain water away from the surface. Overall, the Sany SY35U mini excavator proved to be an invaluable tool for maintaining our gravel driveway. Its versatility and maneuverability made it easy to get the job done efficiently, and its durability ensures that it will be able to handle similar tasks in the future. If you have a gravel driveway or other small excavation project, the SY35U is definitely worth considering. #sany #excavator #heavyequipment

#rving #illegal #license In many states, a Class A or B license is required to tow most larger 5th wheels, especially with one-ton trucks. Many RV’s, motorhomes, and personal trailers also have this requirement. If your gross combined weight rating is over 26,000 you likely need an upgraded license. I go over some of the highlights for the two states I’ve familiar with and how easy it is to get a license upgrade. So the rumor of needing a motorhome license or special license is indeed true in many states. In North Carolina and many other states, a special Class license is required to drive large Motorhomes and 5th wheel trailers that exceed 26,000 lbs. You may not need a CDL for personal use but that doesn’t mean you don’t need a license upgrade even for RVs. In many states, a higher class or endorsement is required which isn’t related to CDL operations. Always check your state’s laws before purchasing or upgrading RV’s. Never listen to the salesman. Here is also a reference to tag/weight stations from another great YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VlEU6-4YoY&feature=em-comments 00:00 License Importance 00:41 Do you need a CDL for an RV 01:05 GCRW over 26,001 04:58 Penalty In some states 08:23 The NC law for Class A RVs 11:36 Getting an upgraded license 22:24 Liability driving RV’s

Ram Upgrade. Towing beast! My experience towing, on the upgrade from Single Rear Wheel Dodge 2500 to a Dual Rear Wheel Ram 3500. Towing both a tag-along trailer and fifth wheel toy hauler. Moving a fifth-wheel setup to the new truck. Loving the dually. Verified that a long wheelbase dually is rock solid compared to a short bed single rear wheel 3/4 ton. In other words, if you are considering a 5th wheel in the 12K+ weight range this is what you want to be towing it with.
