Um your links need some attention........

When on the site you want to link to, right click the site and click "copy". Then go to to your new post and click the at the top. "Paste" the link into there and click "OK". You link will be good as new. :wink2

On Edit: Or you can always post pics......:thumbsup

That was a steal at $20,000. Makes me wish I had that much for a toy. If I had it, it wouldn't be seeing any work, just play. :cool2

I thought this pic was kinda cool. This was in a book called Giant Earthmoving Equipment by Eric C. Orlemann

 

[Blademan]

Wow , great photo indeed . Is that one of those Terex trucks ? Like the one parked near Sparwood BC ?

Thanks again everyone for all the great pictures .:notworthy



About the blue Grader . I'm not sure if I like it or not , but I just can't stop looking at it . Weird ...

That is the one parked at Sparwood BC. The Terex Titan 33-19. There was only one made.

That hoe ain't tied down. :nono

Great pic :thumbsup . I think its because of things like that though that it was parked. :cool2

 

[Lashlander]

Ya, load a half a load of dirt, then throw the hoe on.ointhead

 

[Grader4me]

How did you get that picture of my wife's grandparents on that tractor?:bouncegri Well it is the "other" side of the family.:wink2

 

[Bob Horrell]

That is some serious torque on that "oversize" load. Hope he has a strong frame. The torque on my 500hp dump truck just amazes me sometimes. Gotta love those diesels.

 

[Lashlander]

Heres a couple of Rollingons from the North Slope.

 

[PSDF350]

Great pics. More info on those please lash.

 

[Lashlander]

I don't have a lot of info on them. Crowley Maritime uses them to transport stuff around the North Slope. The company that makes them is Rollingon. They are able to travel across the tundra without scarring it up. They make alot of different types. Countryboy posted a bunch of different types in this thread a few pages ago.

 

[Countryboy]

Great pics Lash and XHawkeye. :drinkup

Lash, if you ever get a chance to take some more pics of those Rollingon trucks, you know where to put them. :thumbsup

I stole them pics, I've made it my mission to stay off the North Slope if possible. Its colder there than Wyoming.

 

[Lashlander]

I broke in and stole a couple more. I was wrong, their not operated by Crowley Maritime. Their operated by Crowley All Terrain Co., a division of Crowley Maritime. I also stole these from a calender that the IUOE Local 302 put out.

 

[King of Obsolete]

Is it true that after working on the Slope for a while that one leg becomes shorter than the other? :beatsme
