    Yeah no kidding. If you loaded that bucket up at P&H in Fort Mac I'm working for the outfit in the building right to the south.

    I am just wondering, what are those front to back bars over the load were for??? I though they were helping securement like with a steel rod bolted to trailer but I noticed they are held down with bungees on the front so I know it's not a securement thing.

    What @Rontonio and @passingthru69 said, they beat me to it. Nothing will get the cops called on your backside faster than ripping down some lil ole biddies cable tv line in the middle of her afternoon stories!!!
    @NorthernMechanic i brought this one, and most of the ones I've hauled, out of the P&H plant in Milwaukee. I have taken more than half a dozen Into the P&H town shop over the years.
