    I hate those things. The ground clearance is always a problem. However, the smaller ones like a 1300 Marini you could just drive up on a Landoll tilt-deck. Nothing like doing things the easy way.

    I saw the pics on the internet and then I passed under that bridge.

    I bet the driver was wide awake from WTF fright after that little ride of the day.

    We had that happen here on the Beltway about 10 years ago. Some idiot from Canada loaded an excavator with the boom sitting on the gooseneck and about 3' too high. He wound up knocking down a pedestrian bridge onto a car, killing the driver.

    I just don't get people, not long ago someone was pulling a brand new front loader, must of forgot to check clearance and drove under a bridge and there it stayed till they could figure out a way to get it out. There was nothing left of the cab when they got it out.:biggrin_2554:

    A D7 is a fair size machine. Did they have the 13' blades on them?
