They did show it turn. They showed it bouncing around in high speed reverse too. Can anyone tell what cat they showed it pushing next too? An 9 maybe looked like it had twin stacks but I don't recall 9s ever having 2 stacks.
i had the dubious pleasure of watching one of the 2 that ARCO converted into prime movers on the north slope (took the blade off and installed push pads and draw bar hitches on both ends) we called it the grave digger. it would push (twin 450 hp CATS) like crazy as long as you were going straight, but try to turn under power and it liked to bury itself, deep and in heart beat. if i remember correctly Lampson purchased both of them along with both Hendrickson DPM360 prime movers and all of their platform trailers and they now reside in the Tri Cities
Here's the thread with those in it, second post:
