Hi,
Well, it is off the truck. And, they didn't break much of anything. I was expecting more to go wrong than did. And, presumably, it is next used to unstick the truck. What I want to know is how did they get it up on that truck to begin with?

I would agree with Stan's comments, although the other question is what is the GVWR of that truck? It looks like maybe it is 22,000 LBS, and putting a 450 loader on it has to be close if not exceeding the GAWRs.

As a boy I watched many times as our neighbor did this very thing in the gravel pile in front of our cabin. Although, on his dump truck the front wheels would go min. 4 feet up in the air, then without his truck e brake on, he would squirt that truck out and it would always end up coming down in a cloud of dust. He had that outfit for a long time. He worked into his 90s.
His son has the business now, never seen him try it.

It always amazes me how sometime it seems that we need to get a truck as close to the site as possible. Had the truck backed up to a berm somewhere nearby with good footing, the dozer would have come off more easily and the pucker factor would have been much less, and the dozer would have paddled over to the job site nicely and the truck could have gone on to other things.
This summer, truckers have gotten their dump trucks seriously stuck twice at my project trying to put their load too close to where I was filling, even though I suggested that they dump the loads on firm ground and then let me push the material to where needed. To be fair, I've made the same mistake in the past, but I guess as I'm older, I'm ready to minimize the drama and potential risks when I can.
The loader operator did a good job of unloading without injury or significant damage to the machines - I guess all's well that ends well.

You guys can make fun of me, but even though I have loaded many a piece of equipment, I actually dislike it greatly. In other words it scares me.
This is an old photo and probably you guys have seen it, but it scares me just seeing it. Lavoy said to keep things sane so while there are graphic photos, I spared people that. There is a guy in the cab of this tractor as can be seen when they pick it up.
There are a lot of accidents when loading equipment, maybe we should all consider loading and unloading them safely for the sake of our families?

I agree, the dump truck is stuck in soft soil. I think they unloaded because they had to, not because they wanted to. I gaurentee if i nosed the bucket with teeth down in the ground that close to a tree, i would have definitely hit a LARGE root. Then the truck is stuck, I'm half unloaded, bucket buried, crawler stuck, somewhere overseas!!! Bruce

Bruce: LOL Yes, My co-workers, and I have a hard time being sympathetic of stupid.
Where I work, there's a code of conduct where it's ok to make a mistake, but if you didn't think ahead, be prepared for the consequences. We'll help out, but be prepared also for the ridicule.
