Just had the front springs done on the truck and someone had not adjusted the load leveler for the rear air bags to compensate the height difference .
Long story short i was informed it would be ok for the dayfirst mistake
Rewind 4.00 am this morning hop in said truck Drive 4 hours first drop no wuckers
Half a hour latter second and last drop no probs again . Now because the trailer is low at the front (draw bar) and the trucks rear suspension is low as well The lowest point being the tow frame that supports the ring feeder
Just below this frame the very lowest point is a welded bracket that supports the air lines
So i finnish said drop drive very slowly out the drive not noticing that i had snagged the air line bracket on the drive way . Head off on my way 2 ks down the road when said air line wears a hole in it from contact with the bitumen
End result full trailer brake lock up from 100ks due to loss of air
Yes luck was on my side and any one else on the road today
As i was in the middle of nowhere i was very fortunate to have a friendly farmer come along that had some air hose and a welder , A hour latter i was on my way dirty jocks and all
AT REST

Good to see you are OK Chris, those cows are typically very inquisitive! Many years back my brother had to set a helo down in a farmers paddock after the chip warning for the gearbox went off, he hurriedly set it down before rotation ceased!
Next morning came back to find cows swarming around, leaning against it happily rubbing against the fuselage....

About $1600-$2000 worth of flatspotted tyres there.As Kev said, lucky you kept the shiny side up.
I presume when you say load leveler, you're refering to the ride height valve? How much has the front been raised?
If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

Yep ride height valveAbout $1600-$2000 worth of flatspotted tyres there.

These springs were only a month old and had sagged big time , Mainly because fridge motor extra 600kgs over the front axle and this truck is always up on its weight
They are also parabolic springs.
We have two trucks the same the other had a extra leaf added and has been fine .
This one would be with out the extra leaf approx 60-70mm lower than the other truck.
