I'm sure I wouldn't want to do it every day but it was sure cool to give it a whirl, closest I'll ever get to driving a full size Tonka.

drove one of those saturday. i was amazed on how sharp they turn. and very easy to drive...
It's cool to drive some of these brutes . Here's one I drove once back in the 60's while in the army.Wish I had one today , no worries from bumperboats or PWC's
Was a little slower than a Skater

25 years of operating, equipment has come a long long way in comfort and useability. I loved operating but hated stupid foremen!!!!!!!!! NSF

Canada has an Army? For what?
Ken , I was in hungary in the 60's ,mostly russian crap but had a bigger army than canada , eh ! :shift:
That amphibian was a blast with the plow up going full speed into the water .Those two black lights were infrared night vision reflectors for the headgear that I also worked on in a optical factory. Good thing a wasn't a full time driver , because of those headgears occasionally shorted out giving 30K volts jolts to the wearer :sqeyes:
that pic has got north county/temeculla written all over it...
where abouts were you
Love the big dirt machines. Operated a 988 loader when rip rapping the levees' from Bullhead to Blythe. Ran an end dump for awhile, but finally got to load the rock, not dump it. Trick to loading big rock without blowing the bottom out of the trailer.
