This happened the other day in China, and it didn't stop until the cops showed up.
Rival companies went at each other in Front End Loaders... this should be a sport!
The guy in the flatbed truck was wise in getting out of dodge. :laugh:

Wow!
They are willing to ruin their expensive equipment rather than lose a job.
That is determination.
:eek:

I'm decent in a 966, they're a bit tricky in tight areas at first because of the articulating body that pivots in the middle... but with a little practice they're a lot of fun. It's been about 16 years since I was in one, though.

The one guy that tipped over the other Loader had the right idea, lift up while powering forward. The other guys were just using them as battering rams.

I have zero clue how to ride one of those things. Jeff used to use them a lot, and my Dad, when they worked for the DOT in NJ.
I play a mean video game though, so ya never know!!

First thing you do when you get behind the wheel of a 966 is : left-right-left-right-up-up-down-down-A-B-B-A-select-start.

Before you even think about work, use that sucker to ram into everything in sight, break every window, lift and drop everything, crush everything - THEN start the mission. :)

Okay, be honest here...
Who recognized the old school Nintendo cheat code?

I didn't know it was a code, but knew it was mimicking a game. That's what mine was too, how I start learning to play games, by moving the character/machine around and just shooting and hitting everything first, sometimes even teammates!

If I recall right, that was the code for Contra. That was a great game, back in the day!

Oh yeah, would love to see 4 of them Chinese bastards fighting out with these suckers! Probably not very fast, but I would imagine it could push you a little bit, and maybe even lift things up!!

I drove several of those things working at a coal tipple along the
Monongahela River in West Virginia.
They were not huge, but actually easier to drive than a car.
