Saw this on GJ Didn't look like fun.

He stuck the landing!

Those look like R1 tires don't they? I think this could settle the argument over which tires provide the best traction.

No idea what 'GJ' is, but that incident was posted and discussed at length several pages back.

That's what I was thinking, also. Perhaps he could swap his strapping expertise for driving lessons.

From what I remember, it needed to be backed on to get the balance right, but there were extenuating circumstances (someone pulling in front of the truck and trailer).

He really stuck the landing!!! Oops someone beat me to it

 

[Imold]

Got to say they definitely had the tractor tied down good. Is that a box blade on the 3pt dug in holding it all up?

 

[Diggin It]

Even if it's right (and not staged), it seems wrong.

 

[Thomas]

Yep if true those 2 driver are top notch. :thumbsup:

My guess the transport trucks do not have enough tires on the ground to support the load. Jon

Why wouldn’t they just drive it? With those big off road tires I wouldn’t think the ground pressure would be that bad.

16 axles will support quite a lot.

16 axles will support quite a lot.

Yeah, but those big off road trucks often weigh over 500 tons. Those axles would have be well over twice the capacity of normal tractor trailer axles. I guess it's possible but I would expect to see more axles.

Gotta be staged. There would hardly be a route they could take, even if that side by side arrangement could work.

Looks like it may be this outfit:

I think so too, but a fun picture none the less.

Video proof it's not staged. :thumbsup:

Would expect a maneuver like that to be staged.....carefully staged. But it doesn't appear to be fake.

That one isn’t even close to that big. I can’t see the model on that but a Cat 777 is 124,000 pounds empty and that one is missing the bed.

"Usually" those haul trucks are shipped in pieces.

That's coordination. I don't know how they can turn both trucks in tandem like that.

 

[Industrial Toys]

There would hardly be any place you could take that load. Or would it be cost effective.
