Not an owner driver then
would rather be hanging in a basket under a crane at that sort of height ... that's on its limits ... a crane at that height is barely breaking a sweat
If the bucket is properly down on the stops when ramming into the pile there’s no stress. When it’s tipping sideways there’s not a lot as the pivot is quite near the middle. I’ve only seen these buckets on the railways over here, on 941’s and 951’s. Cat make them to fit skid steers, compact tracked loaders and compact wheeled loaders.some stress on those ram mounts where they are![]()
long way from the middle on this one though Bri .... fair lift for the ram from the closed position on this one .... obviously works, but that is some push .. aren't hydraulics wonderfulIf the bucket is properly down on the stops when ramming into the pile there’s no stress.

These buckets don’t tend to be very high capacity, Gra. Also, the distance between pins is plenty Just to empty the bucket.long way from the middle on this one though Bri .... fair lift for the ram from the closed position on this one .... obviously works, but that is some push .. aren't hydraulics wonderful

Farm next to me had a steel shed fire recently. Up against the road so I see it every day. Currently being stripped. That was only a bit of hay, and it’s bent all the roof steels .. surprising.A few more from New York today, Sept 11th Museum. Can’t imagine the heat and load required to bend steel beams like these

doesn't take much of a fire to distort UB,s TBH ..... surprising how hot a hay fire getsFarm next to me had a steel shed fire recently. Up against the road so I see it every day. Currently being stripped. That was only a bit of hay, and it’s bent all the roof steels .. surprising.
Basic subscription now has ads.Am I right in saying even if you pay Amazon prime subscription they still make you watch ads in the middle of films![]()
So I’m in New York for the week. 93 floors up at Summit 1 Vanderbilt and looking out at this being built. Wouldn’t fancy working up there nevermind in the cherry picker! 🫣
