Thaz cool. The real garbage trucks, fire trucks, yard trucks, & some straight box trucks are the only cabovers I see out on the roads here in 🇺🇸 nowadays. Back in the 1980s half the semis I saw on the roads were cabovers & the other half were conventional cab ones.
There definitely aren’t many cabovers on the roads these day besides garbage and fire trucks. Every once in a while I will see a cabover semi on the roads. Thanks for watching!
@@DJman117 and yard trucks which are those fifth wheel semis with the small cab that's only big enough for just the driver to ride in, & small box trucks like those ones that furniture companies have.
@@DJman117 good but my truck kinda broke... the forks and the lifts are not equal the top of the cab thing keeps falling off pins for the lift keep falling off and the thing that blocks the lift pin keeps going in i give it a 5/10
@@captainrex4403 Unfortunately, none of them have operating compactor blades. The rear loader does that the moving exterior compactor blade, but not the interior blade. I’m glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
this is a cool casting. seldom we get to see diecast garbage trucks with these nice details and articulations. thanks for sharing this.
First Gear does a great job with their garbage trucks. I have a few of their trucks in my collection, and they’re all well done. Thanks for watching!
@@DJman117, good to have one of this as part of your collection. wishing i could find one.
@@PJMCollectibles I have found that eBay is the best place to find the First Gear garbage trucks.
@@DJman117 thanks for the heads up 👍
@@DJman117 dda

@@kevinrichards3288 I do occasionally see yard trucks out and about around the factories by me. Each year I see less and less cabover box trucks.
Where did you get the truck from
All of my First Gear trucks were bought on eBay.
That's nice. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! The First Gear garbage trucks are cool vehicles, I’m happy to have them in my collection.

As far as I know, the First Gear garbage trucks are not sold at Walmart or Target. I’ve gotten my trucks off of eBay.
@@DJman117 you can also get them on amazon
Does it have a functional compactor blade???
It does not have a functioning compactor blade
@@DJman117 oh okay. I always wondered if those had a functional compactor or not. Still, It's and awesome model!!! Great video too.
