Ha Ha the first picture is of a artic truck thats small time, there more for construction jobs but the last pic are probably 36 r40 or close. Probably for a 100-125 ton truck.

don't know about artic truck but there used mostly in place of pans where the ground is to soft and pans cant get around.they are 6 wheel drive plus have selectable lockers for frount and rear axles. we used them a lot in south texas.

articulating (sp) is what i meant by artic sorry. They dont steer by turning the tires but by a center pivot like a loader.
this is my truck at the quarry and its only a 70 ton so those 300 ton trucks are frikin huge

We sold the John Deere and Hitach (ie, generic, orange John Deere) versions of those trucks at my last job. The articulating truck isn't small, but the tires that are an the trailer go on a MASSIVE piece of equipment!

Imagine how big the tree would have to be for a Redneck to make a swing.

So is nobody else bothered by the fact that Lorenzo obviously took this pic while he was DRIVING?

(Safety first!)

I got skillz..... imagine if I had a stick shift in the acura, was smoking a cig and drinking coffee all the while trying to take a pic?
Shit thats how I drive in the woods in my truck.

also I was wondering in that yota crushing video... did it have an engine in it?

Probably fits something like this.

if you think this is big,you should see the shovels that load them in only 3 buckets.
