    I reckon it would, but you might wanna keep it in manual/hold mode while you're on the working face.

    You bring up a painful memory, Tombstone. We were working on a Thanksgiving day on a landfill job, changing the grade level of a closed cell. Somehow wrapped a mattress around the driveshaft of an off-road truck. Tore out all kinds of hydraulic lines, accumulator, various stuff. Right in the middle of a nasty hole. Had to pay Caterpillar extra to come to their dealership the next day after Thanksgiving to make up new hydraulic lines and buy 40 gallons of hydraulic fluid. Then lay on my back and reach up underneath the cab with one hand to replace the hoses. Had to use a mirror to even see it. Hardest repair job I’ve ever had to do. I thought my fingers were going to freeze off. A very expensive, nasty, miserable experience all caused by a stupid mattress.

    I could write a book about the things I've seen and done on top of the heap, it was,back in the late 70s, early 80s, my playground, until it almost cost me my life.
