This morning on TV I saw the Taliban using the same method to load a bunch of Abrams on flatbeds. It was a documentary about a "take now, try 'em you'll like 'em, pay later" Biden yard sale.
That guy's a good operator. It doesn't make it any easier that it's a bald-faced Cat (no dozer blade). The blade helps somewhat when loading over the back of a lowbed.
Possibility #2- It is Russki, and Mr. Operator has had one slide of the side of the trailer before. It's not much fun when that happens.
Got to keep the trailer dead level and it helps if the trailer is frost free. And Mr. Operator must avoid sudden moves. Just idle it on up there. Don't try to show everybody how fast you can do it.
That was a "neat idea" only because it succeeded. Could just as easily have turned out with someone shouting "Alright, who's the moron that thought this was a good idea".
Not the first time they've done that

I think I would then be worried about the 5th wheel after all that torque just put to it.

ReplyDeleteThey're all priced less than $950 meaning they're free.
DeleteExpect them to show up on Ebay though.
That trailer must be a rental.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was gonna say he didn't do that trailer much good.

May be a stupid question. why didn't they load it from the front like most low-boys I've ssen?
ReplyDeleteMost Low Boys don't have a detachable neck.

ReplyDeleteWasn't Russki. It stayed on the trailer.

There's a fine line between clever and stupid.
