Uhm.... a better way to unload a trac hoe...?

The backhoe photo . If I did that, I would have the front bucket pointing down as to catch if something slipped. ... .

I just looked back at what you mean! I agree with you... . it might knock some teeth loose if it did slip!

Not 100% sure, but that looks like Iraq in those pictures! If it is, doesn't surprise me, the Iraqi truck drivers are crazy over there. Wouldn't say its skill though, most just don't know better, or have the equipment to do it right.

That is ingenious, was probably thought up by one of the guys on the bottom of the totempole and patented by Herzog. Never saw that before though, great video!
