Yeah i didn't know that before, and then we were working down a small city street that was torn up for new utilities. Come quitting time the guy in the 450 just whipped it around, and I'm stuck doing the Austin powers turnaround lol.

Let's say you're gonna hit a bump, with a shorter wheelbase your truck will angle up more, and you'll feel it more. Same with steering, the longer the less responsive it is, so you don't have to work as hard to keep it straight. It's a lower sensitivity to adjustments, so it's easier to keep...

The longer the wheelbase the better! I've known pipeline welders that would get a quad cab and long bed, and then cut the frame off just past the shackles to make it shorter, and then run a flatbed or custom one. That way they had the long wheelbase for driving long distance but overall it was...

Yup, which is why cab overs aren't that common over here. Easier to work on too

Why is the guy filming that close to the road???!!!!

If they were that desperate i don't see why someone didn't just cut it down themselves?

There's always a doubting wife there to film it and scream :lol: what in the world was the crowd of people one? That was nuts

I've really noticed that with the younger guys, they didn't grow up around analog clocks, let alone rotary phones :lol: My wife was talking to our 6 year old son the other day and explaining how all the electronic things they take for granted weren't even invented when we were kids, so he said...

Saved by the kids, Santa's gonna reward that!

Or rigging it all in place. Lotta work

Because you had fire :lol:

She doesn't seem too happy about making more leopards..... :lol:

Oh i get that it happens to the best of us too, I'm just thinking that there's so many recording stuff and that's why all these fails are caught on video. When I'm working on anything I'm focused on my work, not if the camera has a good angle. It's a huge distraction right when they're...

That's a good way to put it.

I wonder how many of these happen without someone filming? I'm starting to think the more likely you are to film yourself the more likely shits about to go sideways. I've been working since i was 12 and i never once thought "i really wish someone was filming this excellence right now!" :lol:

I get that, but a dozer or hoe costs a bit more than a trench compactor, and is gonna be used in different situations. And that's not how that technology will be implemented, sure it'll start for dangerous stuff and then foreign countries, and then before you know it you are working under a...

It's a horrible idea, only an engineer would think it's smart to have someone driving a 120 ton machine around from across the world, meanwhile everyone runs for their lives on the jobsite.

Sometimes engineers try stuff they think will work, but then it don't. I don't see that catching on, but you never know. Would be an easy retrofit for a tire skidder tho.

Know just enough to get yourself killed
