Time for a belly rub...

A hoechuck operator I met said, 'If you get in a tough spot and get the wood out you are a hero. If you screw up you end up being an a_____e.' We all want to be heroes but......

That must be the one that T-Mar recently rebuilt. What a story.

 

[dirty4fun]

Great pictures of someone having a bad day, and some costly repairs. Any info about why they happened? A few blocks to walk on before getting to the ground probably would of made for a much better day. It doesn't look like that big of a drop off, bet the operator thought the same thing.

That was the third time in two days that it went over!!! This was right in the Cameron Yard with the insurance adjuster standing there waiting to assess the damage done by the first two "OOPS" I phoned some one at NWB and said that we unload our machines a little differently However their style gets the job done I guess There is lots more pics of this out there.

 

[Hallback]

You gotta be a special kind of stupid to do that. Wow.....

 

[prolog nz]

What number is that machine?

 

[075]

13?

 

[prolog nz]

13 would make sense with three tip overs in two days it couldnt be the luckiest number.

that first picture is of a C19 Berger with a 70 foot telescoping tower built by brightwater engineers, the 071 that moutere logging have was owned by K E Green

 

[donkey doctor]

I don't see an 071 d.d.

 

[Paul L]

I got it wrong with the 071, it was a berger. 1998 was a while ago.
