Is that real?

Is that real?

Probably, there's a fair number of pictures of people doing similar things with four-wheelers and snowmobiles.
Just drive up to a bank and up the hood as long as the four-wheeler is light or you don't care about having the hood crinkled.

Holy carp! People do that?

Is that real?

It is. I was having a beer at a restaurant in my home town on a Saturday afternoon. I looked out and there he was. Had to step out onto the patio and snap that pic.

Someone didn't get the memo that those are supposed to be emptied and split before you move them?

Appears to be trailer failure

Gotta love the old heavy haulers, that Oshkosh is a mean looking truck, also love the old Autocars.

Here's one similar. This is a stock photo, but we saw these running in British Columbia in 1973. They stay on MacMillan Bloedel's separate road network, wider and better maintained than the primitive country roads in that logging region. You don't want to get on their haul road by mistake!

This link says 120~140 TONS, loaded.

We see that on a regular basis, used to be that he would be pulling another trailer behind him.

That must be why the pic is sideways. :laughing:

LOL. liked that one.

I saw a similar situation a few years back where the guy basically made a 'tiny home' and had a tow truck called to tow it.
Once hooked up the whole thing collapsed.

The 'builder' (lose definition) had but spliced most major structural members simply counting on nails or screws to hold it together.
Some folks simply do not have any engineering skills whatsoever.

On the other hand I have dealt with my fair share of real engineers and even they leave much to be desired.

Perhaps in their narrow fields they shine but outside of that field 'nada'.

I.E. an electrical engineer that consults with major hydro providers (world wide) once asked me why the heat thermostat was at 5 ft while the switches were at 4 ft, and why some wire was red vs white.??

I do not have any engineering degrees but built 5 Kms of road using common sense.
That road is still the best stretch of our entire lakeside roadway.
I opted for 3 ft culverts vs 2ft to handle our lake outflow.
Well 25 years later nobody has flooded and that culvert handles whatever is tossed at it!
(well beavers have tried a few times)
I was paid a very high compliment by a senior of Lavalin at the time when he told me that I had more common sense that the dozens of engineers that he had on staff.
LOL, nice guy! (sadly he has passed)

Those are some very impressive tractors.

Was the new TINY homeowner left homeless? That's so sad! Try and do something modest and responsible and then that!

Maybe it was a repo, they ran out for a minute and the repo man hitched on. ;-)

 

[goeduck]

I wonder if it is covered by the home owners warranty. :laughing:

Mmmmm. Could be! For some reason I seem to have that problem on this site. Not sure if it's image size or what.

They towed the truck because it was unsafe.

I like it. People should just STOP complying, en-mass!

Same thing in NY state recently with an inspection sticker.

It's such a funny mockery of AUTHORITY! Let's see a drivers license.

I rember as kids, we used to like to make our own Alphabet Agency Type Credentials.
