We watched this pulled in to the station as we were going to Morris MN for our GTG.

He could open the hood a little more. Better hope those hydraulics don't fail while he stands there.

Hmmmm

I could see a use for that in elk season, especially if it goes back far enough to dump an elk in the bed

I agree on the safety side, seriously needs a post or positive support when standing under that bucket......

I'm betting that would work great for getting those 'left lane riders' in the other lane and out of the way! Just pick the rear end up and move it over a little to change their direction.

I think all of our jaws dropped when we saw that pull into the station. Followed by lots of knee slapping and finger pointing.

I can't help but to ask what he built that rig for? I wouldn't think it was for snow removal....I guess whatever he does with it requires a cargo bed and a front end loader....

It doesn't look like it can but that would be ideal.

I said the same thing when I saw him raise it up and pop the hood.

Never know when you might have to run to town with a bucket of grain or something.

I'll bet he has 1000 lb in the bed of the truck to counterweight that thing.
