The Miller Rotator Class

I had the unique opportunity to attend the Miller rotator class prior to the tow show. The classroom portion was held at the museum. The hands on was held at Yates towing. The class was very cool! It was a lot of details on how the tator was built and why. They had individual suppliers there to help with the details, such as the winch manufacturer, the valve manufacturer and body manufacturer. They kind of over filled the class, I think on pompous because of the show and the rest of the festivities, this was a bit discouraging because we did not get as much hands on time and it was too crowed to even see some of the demos. The other bummer was that there were not many tators there, I guess the rumor was that miller would have a bunch of new ones for the show and they would use them, so no one brought one- I don�t know. The class was very interesting and I learned a lot.
