One of the most popular videos from last month was this one, where Trevor shows what happens when a feed truck parked inside for winter caught on fire, thus melting several control wires and power wires located on the roof. For this major electrical repair, he had to rip out the old, destroyed ones and pull in new wire.
How do you know whether the issue is mechanical or electrical? Well, sometimes it can be a bit of both! See how Trevor goes about solving this common issue that happens to fall in both the mechanical and electrical categories.
This video is also on TikTok.
Winter means cold weather-specific issues, so make sure you're prepared! When it starts to get really cold outside, make sure to do as much prep outside of the cold as possible, advises Trevor. It’ll be much easier. In this case, he’s working on installing anhydrous tank heaters.
