Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 70+ ton rotator
That's an awesome looking truck / rotator. Starting to look like the infamous "Kong" rotator out of New Jersey.

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 70+ ton rotator
thanks vanisle
spent some time on my stuff yesterday. I put new esc + 2.4 ghz radio in my 5900 , got that bug fixed . then totally move drive componants on this 1 . The darn coupling kept loosening between the 2 trans. so I moved the axial trans. behind the cab and used 1 of those dog bone shafts that seem to accumulate with no use . Results are great , must have had just a slight miss alignment . Finished the body work and pushed the paint , a little orange peel but the sun is working that out now . thats it for a little bit till I get some other stuff caught up . IHSteve

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 70+ ton rotator
In case you haven't seen it, here is a build thread for "Kong."
http://tow411.yuku.com/topic/43285/t...port-unit.html There are plenty of pictures of a B&B 80 ton rotator on a Paystar similar to yours, although I think the photo you showed was a Miller rotator. |

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 70+ ton rotator
They actually consider it a 100 ton rotator and Highpoint, now Avella, even put a 100 ton rating plate on it (which caused some debate on Tow411). B&B was going through the process to have it re-rated to be a 100 ton rotator but I don't think that was ever done. The limitations appear to be in the carrier and not the rotator itself. I think a B&B 80 ton, Miller 1075, Jerr Dan 70/85 and NRC Heavy Incident Manager will all get the job done.
Personally, I like the look of the Miller, especially on a twin steer chassis. They all make twin steer models but I prefer the look of a 72 inch front axle spread which Miller uses, whereas Jerr Dan and NRC both have the second axle behind the cab. B&B doesn't have a standard twin steer configuration but I think they recently doing one on a stock T800 twin steer chassis. Regardless, your Paystar is going to be awesome! |

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 70+ ton rotator
Oh, you should definitely do a twin steer. You can find lots of photos on Tow411 (as you probably know already). There are also some on wreckerdriver. Here is a nice C500 twinsteer with a Miller on it.

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 70+ ton rotator
Steve that is going to be a beast. I can't wait to see her finished and doing a rotated recovery. With the wrecker I have now and the one that is on the way I'm tempted to buy one of those cheap chinese ones and beat it up a little for the tow's to have something on the hook.
