I've come close to doing something like that... but not on purpose.  ;D

I was hoping to see him drive it back out. I don't think that would've gone so smooth.

When I still had my truck and flat bed I would haul out of the Gwiner N D bob cat plant every day. thy would back into a narrow bay you should see them guys fly a round the corner onto the flat bed land side ways and the tires would touching each other. when I got to Mpls St Paul to deliver them I had to turn them to drive off the end of the trailer. I sure don't miss turning them things on a 102 wide flat bed I only had bought 4 inches to play with

That is awesome, dangerous, funny, exciting and a bunch of other things. I would not want him "practicing" on my equipment. I wonder how much he tore up before he got it right? That is some unique operating, that is for certain.

Where I helped out at a Bobcat dealer, they would unload those cross-loaded Bobcats by setting steep ramps and drive them right down the ramp. And it was the truck driver doing it. Maybe OSHA doesn't allow that any more.

I wonder if he realizes that the oil pump in the engine can't pick up any oil at that steep of an angle? Might look cool, but I think it's a little rough on the engine.

I saw a video of a guy that climbed a little backhoe up onto a train car and unloaded the coal in it, same principal I guess but with the use of more hydraulics, they got more nerve then I do!  I'd also bet there was a few mishaps before he got that perfected, I'd also like to see it unloaded, not saying it couldn't be done just like to see it.  Those arms can go up enough for balance but they only go down so far for offloading, guessing a dock is involved.

beenthere most of the places I went to only had a dock to unload a few did have that steep ramp. turning that bob cat on the trailer was harry at best I all most backed one off the trailer the poucker effect took hold fast :o
