Morning Mike,
I doubt if you'd get a discount on one of these. That would be like asking for a discount on a Ferrari! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You know, "Backhoe Madness", I'm surprised we haven't seen Hollywood put this stunt in a movie, or crazier yet, some new sport - Extreme Backhoe Dancing /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Just a few years ago, rockcrawling with your 4x4 was unheard of, but now, the nuts have rubber tire tracks all over the place in the great outdoors. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Re. "Backhow Madness", didn't anyone ever tell the driver that they do make equipment for emptying a rail car?

That guy is nuts...

Howdy KirkMcD,
Well I'll be switched!!
I knew somewhere, somebody would know about this. Just like I said before, TBN is an awesome network of knowledge. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

But, this backhoe has almost hijacked this thread /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif about the SWECO Trail Dozer. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
