Bought a MAZ-5551 at the price of scrap metal. "Spare parts can be bought at any grocery store" Buying a dump truck and working in cargo transportation for yourself sounds like a simple to implement and reliable scheme. We have already talked about a driver who hauls sand and garbage in a Mercedes-Benz with a manipulator, so today we will talk about a domestically produced dump truck and the transportation of potatoes. Andrey bought a ten-ton MAZ-5551 several years ago for $ 3,200 in a rather deplorable condition. "It seemed like it was ready to go to Gatovo with one foot," this is how the current owner described the dump truck's condition. How much effort, time and money did it take to get the machine working and paying for itself? And was everything brought to a decent and serviceable condition? We talk about the availability of spare parts, the reliability of the YaMZ 236 engine and the difficulties in operation in our new video. 00:00 Intro. 03:41 Using oil instead of fuel. 05:47 Features of potato transportation. 09:14 The deplorable state of the MAZ-5551 before purchase. 12:48 Which truck to choose for transportation work. 15:20 Preparing for the start of the season. 22:59 Cabin condition. 24:38 "Drowned" MAZ-5551.
