Scott, nothing so far, as did the military. It's never been used. Thought I was going to move a log cabin intact with it, but the owners decided my price was too high (half of what a commercial company wanted). Yesterday I arranged for a guy to remove it for the logs, free.
I also occasionally want to transport a large rock, say 10 tons. The only thing necessary is fabricating whatever bed you need for the job. No large tractor necessary to do the lifting. In the case of the cabin, 30' I beams attached to a frame on each axle.
I'd never seen one before it was advertised here. Got it for $500, with 4 new tires and 2 portable hydraulic power units on it. Came with enough cable and air line to reach the rear axle. The seller, original civilian owner, was told the military paid $35k. He figured to use it with a civilian truck, but he wouldn't have any trailer brakes.
A friend in Oregon happens to also have one that he used to move a loaded container. Too heavy for the attached hydraulics to lift, he had to use several hydraulic jacks. Then worried about breaking an axle as they were obviously very over-loaded. It worked.
Get yourself out to that farm, and start playing! Time's a'wastin'. I've also occasionally used my deuce winch to pull a shed delivery trailer with it's tow vehicle when it couldn't get where it needed to be. The delivery guy was real tickled the first time, asked for my phone number. Winch and a snatch block or two are real handy.

Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil�s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
