I bought a 14 X 70 mobile home and the moving company wanted too much to move it......so I hooked onto it and moved it myself 5 miles to my land
My girlfreind ran in front of me and told me of any traffic coming my way.....only problem I had was turning into my driveway it was tight and I ran over some bushes

Ds1, it's a dust collector.
It is kind of like a shop vac on steriods! Flows 3500CFM through 8 big filters (bhaf's if you will). It has automatic "puffers" controlled by a photohelic gauge that opens valves and blows air backwards through the filters to clean them off and drop the dust down into a 55 gal. drum. It is plumbed into a 9X16 indoor blasting room, without it on you can blast for abot 5 seconds until you can't even see your hand in front of your face. They get a lot bigger and more expensive than that, that was used when we bought it.
Anyone need anything sandblasted?? We run about 440 lbs. of media an hour through a 3/8" nozzle, not your average Joe Homeowner sandblast operation.

I think I am truly the only person to tow a load of strongman gear through the largest Shopping Mall in North America and...order a coffee at the new drive thru.
LOL
I pulled up beside a coffee kiosk and ordered a coffee on my way to the Ice Palace in the West Edmonton Mall. I think the gals working there may have been more fightened then impressed.
The strangest thing I pulled with a truck was a garage.
I had my buddies old 454 dually. He wanted his garage ripped down so we ran chains around it and left some slack and then I took off.
He forgot to tell me there was an old car in side and I compacted the garage around the car and then proceeded to pull it down the lane. It was quite a mess and a lot of noise.
Towing two trailers of strongman gear 72 feet long does get a few looks too.

Hauled 2 Cesna 172's, without the wings of course, on different occasions. Also moved a 20ft wide american steel building down the road from a neighbors place.
