When I asked if I could drive it they said "When you get home, go to a second floor window, look out the window as you sitting in a soft chair and put your hands around an imaginary steering wheel. There - thats just like driving one!"
Somehow I don't think so. Maybe next time.
Next time maybe I will spend some time with the folks at P&H or Bucyrus and explore walking draglines. These babies have their own breakroom including TV, Fridge, Microwave and a few cots in the cab! Talk about monsters.
