Worst stuck pics

Ahhh, of course!!

I'm sure the hand of the Almighty had nothing to do with sending that dragline (earth altering machine) into the water, rendering it inoperable, and everything to do with getting it out and back into service.

Pretty cool seeing all those dump trucks hitched up, though.

It was impressive the orchestration of the whole event. It looked like the track section was still in the hole. Picking that thing up and putting the tracks back under it will be something to see.

That was a walking dragline. In the slide show you will notice they removed the walking pads prior to the pull. How that machine sits at the end is how it use to sit and dig. Then the shoes would pick it up and move it a few feet at a time. The key is not to step on the umbilical cord (power cord). From what I understand some of those machines used 7,200 volt power straight off the grid and some required higher voltage.

That machine will never dig again. The video said it was a salvage operation.

I didn't see Jesus anywhere in that video.

You must not be looking because I see Him everywhere!

They said the fleet of trucks weighed 2,400 tons. They must have left off a zero or two.

2400 tons= 4,800,000 lbs.

They said 180 traction wheels. Are those 6-wheel drive?
If so, its 30 trucks at 80 ton each which is pretty accurate

Generally speaking, yes, those are 6WD trucks (not sure on those particular ones).

Another weight VS horsepower contest.

Yeah, HP is not always your friend when playing tug a war, especially on concrete. If the trucks a fairly evenly match it usually comes down to who spins first or a tire smoke fest.

That articulated truck didn't hurt either. When he articulated it jerked the other trucks forward and made them loose tractor. That and R1 tires suck on concrete.

The R1 has very little tread on the concrete to grip. There' s a good video from our local event earlier this years. I see if I can find it.

I'm starting on a new truck build hopefully next week for a friend.
