Don't be a Wally vote for Ollie

[Shovelhands]

Always though he looked pretty dangerous tbh. Not saying he wasn’t in some sort of control, but was hardly showing off what a machine could or should be used like, could say it was machine abuse at times…but I guess it was just meant to be crowd pleasing stuff?
As for rubbing the paint off a brand new machine, just for the show, I think I’d be a bit pissed off if it was my new machine being used! I’m almost sure that customers new, sign written, machines were often used for demonstration purposes. Certainly were at the Doe show.

I remember watching him at SED, spinning the tracks into the underside of the boom What a bloody mess!

 

[Bri963]

Don't know about crowd pleasing. He used to walk through the crowd like some sort of test pilot, wedge himself in with the seat laid back and go through his routine. It was worth being in the crowd to listen to some of the comments, which were mainly, let's say, unfavourable. I'm sure you can fill in the blanks. Never pays to set out to impress professionals.

Its alright guys, theres a black hat supervising it all! And the driver cant even lift it correctly!!!!!

 

[Gunners]

Is that's how you do it @Gunners ? Sent a video on for heat 5 and I was invited to the final next day

Think they might be desperate for entries after promising 40 competitiors from only 5 heats where 5 people go through each time.....

Be good to see you there though. Got to have a crack at the cash and see just how good these #polisher operators are at driving the machine rather than cleaning it!

whoever slung it wants his arse kicked anyway -- all loops on one hook - asking for a collapse

Particularly as it should be done with a bag lifter these days,quick hitch position?

Would it not be ok with a leg of the 4 leggers on each hoop?

Not really,length of chains to get correct angle is an issue,plus increased swing,bag lifter on short drop chain solves carrying with arm raised and as hsqe is such a big thing,plays them at their own game,can't see a lift plan written do job as in photo?

 

[JD450A]

In all seriousness you me and nextdoors dog all agree that a dumpy bag can be lifted with a set of short 4 leg chains.

But I fully agree with Lynchy..... They are flat out pedantic, let them have there own antics back.

the 36 ton CAT and 6 blokes needed replacing with a 5 tonner with tilty and grading beam. Behind the photo you cant see 4 of those reversible steering dumpers each with a bloke in on the phone not moving. Walked past at 10, came back through at 2 and they hadn't moved. Time and a half on a sat. easy money when the taxpayer is paying!

It does make you wonder if half a dozen small firms were given the job they would smash it out for half the price and still make a very good wedge out of it.

Instead the cost plus outfit fit as many machines into a 2 lane road as possible to milk it.

 

[JD450A]

Think the 5 tonner would lift those precasts....?

 

[V8Druid]

Would it not be ok with a leg of the 4 leggers on each hoop?

better than what it is there ... they're only 2 leg set BTL,s but could still be slung as a 4 leg drop and at least get the 4 loops at a way better angle than they are there

would have thought so the photo doesn't do justice they are short. but could push the boat out to a 13 tonner even and still be a quarter the cost.
