Under a gas station?????

That would make an earth shattering kaboom!

Where's the kaboom? - YouTube

 

[Mace Canute]

If I was forced into driving that truck, I'd at least want several sandbags between that thing and me

I'd want the bomb in a trailer with a very long hitch!

I'd put it in the front seat where I could keep an eye on it. It's not like you wouldn't be dead anyway if it went off.

Looks like an escape hatch on top of the cab. I wonder if the back of the cab is heavily armored.


Or else that's just a satellite dish.

 

[olPete]

No, sir! I won't drive that truck, sir! One rope isn't enough to contain the blast!

I thought that was a hog in those sandbags, til I read the caption, and I still dunno which made me laugh harder.. I think I need a new screen.

I remember a guy told us that doubleknits were the best to handle bales because they did not wear out. We all laughed!

Shorts and no gloves handling small squares! How many hay stems went under your fingernails or did you take your time grabbing the strings?

lol, You'll never catch me out there wearing shorts, but I don't wear gloves either. You get used to it.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

I don't any more, but did when I was young

I wonder if they just dumped the bomb off when they unloaded it?

I'm thinking, drop the back gate, hit the gas in reverse and smack the breaks and it should slide off the back nicely lol.

I think this guy will need another red fender to match the front one.

Lmao the driver acted like he had no idea how that could have happened.

I loaded my dump truck up on a trailer and that truck had no breaks, that was a stressful load and unload. Luckily nothing was hurt or damaged.

We had "farm use" vehicles we drove around the farm,,, dirt/gravel roads only.
NO vehicle had brakes after 6 months to a year of use,,, luckily,
the 1,600 acres had no point more than 16 feet above sea level,,, it was flat.

Back then,, the cars and trucks were gear shift,,, time it right,, turn off the key - stop.

Some how,, it always worked,,, today social services would be ALL over the farm,,,
we started this at about 10 years old,,, there was too much work to do to worry about fixing brakes,,,

It's common for tractor dealers to pick up old trade-in tractors that have no brakes. Winching on is best, but even then you need to think about grade so the tractor does not try to leave the trailer in favor of the tailgate and pickup bed. Loading uphill slightly helps.

I could see that getting exciting!

Two other methods I have seen used are nailing blocks on the trailer where the tractor is supposed to stop or using a log chain to drag a weight or a vehicle with brakes to keep the winch in tension.
