Dumps trucks dont have a sliding body and no scale house at a pit is going to weigh every axle, so your gona be...

    komatsu pc200-3

    No its just got these long sticks, kinda like a backhoe, and they move like 12 inches to boom up or down, stick in or out and you get worn out in 8 hours of running it. Ive used my buddys machine (not a komatsu) and its so much nicer when all you got to do is move your wrists.
