    Very fortunate it was captured on dash cam if he decides to pursue it. What part of the country was this?

    Those seed carts can be heavy for the size. On US 82 corn, beans and milo are the 3 biggest crops they are also the big 3 in weight per bushel. The way those carts are set up no brakes at all so the bus was doing all the work. Bus shoulda been crawling

    That was my second guess, first being ArKansas. Short bus pulling a seed wagon....had to be one of the two.

    Funny enough I just sold my old 1995 spare to my wife's cousin.
    He cuts the body off and makes a bale hauler out of em.
    His current hauler is a 74. They one he bought off me is a 70 pass, 39' long. He figures he can get another row of bales on. From 12 to 15 round bales. It will be running around New Sarepta.
    Here is a pic of his old one. Unsafe at any speed. He wanted me to pull the allison to do a front pump seal on his 74. It used 1 gallon of oil a season. Negative. Call me when it uses 2.

    Man now that I've seen a chopped up school bus. Looks like it would make a pretty cool ramp truck.

    Lot of people hinge the back. They are used for snowmobile haulers and camps around here. Or pigs, or cattle.
    I told my bride we should shorten the body. Flat deck the middle for the quads and dirtbikes. Put a 5th wheel on the back to pull our camper. She said F&^% you we are not the partridge family.

    Have you seen the guy running around Leduc with the blue 50s/60s ramp truck? Patina finish, stretched right out with 4 square stacks.
     
    RedForeman, Rideandrepair and Flint1 Thank this.

    By the looks of all the four wheelers going thru the scene full speed he’s lucky he got out alive after the accident. Sheesh people are oblivious.
