Change the subject to: "How to unload a rented Bobcat brand excavator from a pickup truck" I was shooting for brevity in the subject line. Sorry for the confusion. I kinda laughed up to aquiring a new 3 year old friend i wouldnt have known the difference. driving down the road i hear skid steer, bobcat, bachoe bulldozer etc etc. nifty how the operator uses the bucket so the the truck doesnt go boom ![]() |

It's not a bobcat brand either. Bobcat doesn't make machines that big. AND
even if they did, they'd be painted white. s "HeyBub" wrote in message ... wrote: On Mar 21, 8:17?am, "HeyBub" wrote: Videohttp://cgi.fark.com/cgi/fark/youtube.pl?IDLink=3476336 its a excavator..........

I don't think either a "Bobcat brand excavator" (whatever that might be) or a pickup truck are shown anywhere in that video. Other than that your subject is accurate... |

Well, we don't really know if the machine is rented either.

I don't think either a "Bobcat brand excavator" (whatever that might be) or a pickup truck are shown anywhere in that video. Other than that your subject is accurate... Right. It's more an illustration of technique than a testimonial for particular items. Just thinking out loud, the technique would seemingly work for large riding lawnmowers (you might have to jack up the truck's front end - really high), lowboy trailers laden with dead bodies, and, of course, this method is often how you get boats off trailers. Since I saw this yesterday, I have successfully employed the method in discharging the 50gal drums of jalapeno peppers from my weekly trip to Sam's Club. I plan to take advantage of the new method this week-end when I move my mother-in-law's stuff to a storage shed (she ran off with a vacuum cleaner salesman to Beaumont). |

Is that a question or a statement? There's another video showing them loading an excavator onto a different kind of flatbed. They put the bucket on the flatbed to lift the tracks, drove forward until the front of the excavator was on the bed, then spun the bucket to the back and lifted until the tracks were level. Then they just drove right on the rest of the way. Bigger truck, but the front never left the ground. |

Topper to that is one in South America somewhere (saw it several years ago) where they put it up on top of a train of RR cars and crawl along unloading the cars with it it. Wish I had kept the link. Scary just to watch it getting up on top of the first one. Harry K |

AHEM! That's not a bobcat, (hell it's not even a skid loader) and that's
NOT a pickup. other that all those mistakes, I don't see a problem with their procedure. s "HeyBub" wrote in message ... Video http://cgi.fark.com/cgi/fark/youtube.pl?IDLink=3476336 |

But, I thought, this is "alt.home.repair" not "alt.freeway.construction" or "alt.dam.building". Someone might consider the technique should they rent a Bobcat. The rental place may load the sucker with a fork lift. Now, when you get it home to help with installing the towel rack, how the heck do you get it off your truck? |

Again, this technique would not work with any bobcat . Even their mini
excavators would not be loaded this way, because they are not big enough. So , not applicable to relate this video to Bobcats in any way. s "HeyBub" wrote in message ... S. Barker wrote: AHEM!

You have never really done this have you? They certainly don't load a skid loader into the back of your pickup truck at the rental place. |

I hooked up to the tilt bed trailer the rental company furnishes. Harry K |
