    Muddy Komatsu dumper

    Flying dozers

    Beautiful pictures! You must be familiar with this machine to quote the lift capacity at altitude - cool. Also - mixed memories of seeing "SSSR" and "airofloat" (Roman) on that machine, I guess they hired the Soviet airline for this move? Were you there?

    Figure out what happened in this video?

    The guy lowers the camera half way through, and I can't figure out what happened after they upright the truck. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=845_1264671115

    First machine purchase for small business?

    Much as I hate those things, if you're doing utilities and only having one machine, should be a backhoe.
