Got into a big load and haul operation with my 400 and my sons' 318 (both Deere Garden tractors) and dumpcart yesterday. He had a couple yards of material where he didn't need /want it and I was up there with the 400 doing some loader work anyhow.
We've both operated loaders and also been in the truck when a cowboy operator dumped a load hard. He backed in one trip while I was raising the the load to full height. Before I dumped it I idled down so he could hear me and said, "I'm gonna do something I've always wanted to do!". Naturally, he asked, "What's that?". So I brought the revs up and dumped, as fast as the equipment could manage, the whole bucket in one shot,, THUMP!! He cracked up laughing and then screamed at me, "You %*@()#$^$ loader operators are all alike!!"
