Friend bought a bunch of stuff on an online auction on Monday and I went five hours north on Wednesday to get his stuff and the one item I bought. One of the things he got was a v12 Cummins. They tried to lift it with a 5500lb capacity telelhandler and it wouldn t touch it. So then we got a pagy loader. First try a lifting didn t work, so we changed it up. Got it lifted off the ground about a foot and blew the bucket hydraulic line. Went and got another loader and got it picked. He carried it down a drive that he had gone across earlier and sunk his tires about a foot deep, but he got it on!
My friend also bought two dragline buckets, a dodder mill, and a grain dryer fan. I had to keep my speed down to 55 to keep from overheating. Going 15 under on the four lane isn t so bad unless you hit eau Claire at rush hour. I was white knuckling it while getting eaten alive by everyone else on the road. I think I was even passed by an Amish buggy!
I got to his place at 8 at night and unloaded that monster in the dark in the rain. We used a 5500lb rough terrain forklift, but he couldn t move, so I had to pull out from under it. We used two 15,000 chokers and shackles on the lift points on the engine. I have no idea what he is gonna do with that ocean liner anchor.
