Why is a professinal rigger worth what they charge??

"It's only straps, chains and simple math, right?"

Check out :45 to around 1:00 to learn the answer to this question.

(I know a few here who will smile when they see this.)

The skidder @ 3:44 is "gently used" LOL

Must have been one of our lease units. *cough cough*

Did you see the hot rod tractor just past that? Look up Funk Bros tractors as they put flat head ford V-8s in 8Ns & started making airplanes & used the flat head Ford V8 for a while in them. I live close to where Love & Friday tracters were made. Here links https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funk_B https://www.gasenginemagazine.com/farm-life/love-tractor-story https://www.gasenginemagazine.com/tractors/friday-tractor https://www.gasenginemagazine.com/tractors/jim-bolligers-hobby This last one was the most common & still around. They mated 2 manual trannys together & it would go way faster then anyone dare take it.

I laugh at the ones trying to steer and their steer axle tires are 5 feet off of the ground. highdesertranger

the farm tractors at least have cutting brakes. but the semi trucks are screwed... lol

 

[Gr8ful]

That's like when you learn to fly & turn the yoke to steer on the ground.

I especially liked the tractor that broke in half!

 

[bullfrog]

Me too as I bet it had some of those fake hardened bollts that those countries are so famous for!

I liked the monkeys jumping on the truck at 2:10... truck monkeys?

 

[JD GUMBEE]

The tractors breaking in half were epic.

For people who learn that most construction jobs are bid on the basis that the yellow iron is one-use and then tossed...this video will show why. Many operators GROSSLY over-work equipment like in the video. As you enter the union jobs, this seems to get worse, not better.
That huge Cat loader with the stone block.
How do you think that front axle felt about that abuse?

 

[BelgianPup]

Odd ..... I didn't see one, single woman driving any of those rigs.

 

[highdesertranger]

I don't find it odd at all. as far as I can tell most of those were in 3rd world countries. I don't think I need to go further into this. highdesertranger

[tx2sturgis]

I mean, dude, if yer gonna watch tractors, might as well be some cute babes in the video:

 

[JD GUMBEE]

Sadly, my guess would be that was his first time on a tractor.
LOL

Some women have even been known to appreciate motorcycle vibrations.

Rigid men, untie.
