    Hahaha, well this is how we loaded this. None of us were light enough to sit on the glass to drive it on the deck. It was a challenge both watching and trying to load it this way. I was too short once it was ready to bring it onto the deck. Using the sticks worked and we got our stretching done.

    I always did. It was just smoother that way. I freely admit that I’m far from coordinated enough to run the tracks with my feet.

    I could dig a hole with a Case 580. I even dug frozen dirt out of the back of dump trucks with one, but excavator controls are a different animal.

    lol...I can't even imagine trying to load something like that with the cab down.

    I hauled an 880 Tigercat loader today, took a vid loading it, and dropping the cab down for transport.

     
    cke, lynchy, Ruthless and 4 others Thank this.
