I used to watch a guy in Alvarado, Texas, do that! Can you imagine what it must be like to do that the FIRST time? I'm betting it was something like this, one day after work:
"Want another beer?""No, got to be heading home.""You know," opening another beer, "I think I can get that up on top.""Get what?""My loader. Hold my beer, let's find out."
Crews
Did someone forget to tell them that they could get the dirt out by just opening the hopper doors? lol Rutland Ray
