See the pole supporting the truck (if you can call it a truck) between the two rear tires, right rear... I'm sure thats the only thing from keeping it from tipping... Plus my super-human strength.

It could be a Tonka really close to the camera.
And I thought I had a rock problem in my back yard. Jim

The first guy should have went for a smooth double apex instead of trying to back it in.

classic example of going too far on worn out tires.
if he'd of replaced them after the last ride, it might not have slid out in the corner. (then again, maybe he's a friend of ivan). ![]()

Has a different tire on the right rear. Must be extra sticky for qualifying.

Man it's flat out here!

From the local employer...yes it's the largest in the world. The Engine is mfd in Lafayette, IN (two 3512 V-12 Diesels in tandem) and the Truck is mfd in Decatur, IL.
There are 100 of these trucks ("Off Highway Truck" in Caterpillar speak) working at the Tar Sands in Canada. One load of Tar Sand yields ~200 Barrels of Crude Oil. ![]() ![]() ![]()

not the largest in the world anymore.
liebherr has a 400 ton beast (surely you all went to the Bauma 2007 trade show last week, right?). it also needs ohlins suspension. http://www.liebherr.com/me/en/

No I wasn't at Bauma (wish I could'a)...I'm here at the Proving Grounds testing Software on E/H Skid Steers and Back Hoe Loaders. No suspension really unless you count the air in the tires.

Are those engines 2-stroke turbo diesel like in locomotives? Do they use electromotors on the final drive?
