  1. I can't really see what they are doing that is so special? Considering only the frame rails, cab and body are proprietary to Seagrave, the remaining 80% of the rig is vendor supplied.

    Unless something is special about the type of stainless steel they are using or their welder, they are basically just like everyone else.

    Their grill and logo look nice, but outside of that, what is the magic about a Seagrave?

    Your right... frame rails, cab, body, some of the most important parts, I have been personally at E-One, Pierce, Sutphen, American LaFrance, and Salisbury (body only) plants thru out my career. Once you seen how each are made from the inside out , and not just the pretty outside, you to will respect how Seagrave is built.

    There is reasons why some of the biggest and busiest city's in this country use Seagrave. Note :I am NOT a salesman.


  2. First off... love this topic, love hydraulics when it comes to GPM, NP, NR.

    I see Morningside,MD engine "off the rear" has a 400' 1 3/4" preconnected with a fog nozzle.

    Just curious... what kind of pump pressure do you pump, to get the correct nozzle pressure (fog nozzle) on that long lay or on a third/forth floor fire with that small line ???

    I have been told by smarter people then me, NO more then six lengths on the 1 3/4 hand line.
