Unloading the easy Russian way
The driver of this truck found a novel way to unload the bulldozer in the back.
Only in Russia, I guess . . . although I can think of a couple of good ol' boys in the deep South who might have come up with a similar idea!
And here I was expecting things to not quite go as planned. That actually seems to have worked fairly well. Not that I'd ever try anything like that m'self...
The bulldozer finishes its work then it scoops a trench with one sloping end. The truck backs down the slope till the bed of the truck is even with the ground at the far end of the trench.
Then the dozer simply backs into the truck bed and the truck drives up the earthen ramp and away it goes.
I was more intrigued by how awful the bulldozer looked. Is this a 1930's vintage machine? Congratulations on maintaining it, but it shows the state of Russia's economy is in rather sad shape!

ReplyDeleteI'm thinking he's done that before... :-) And "I" thought this would have something to do with an AK and full auto... LOL
ReplyDeleteUnloading was clever and all but I'm hung up on one point.
ReplyDeleteHow'd they get the bugger IN the bed of the truck to start with?
BGM
I'm wondering how he's going to get it back in the truck...
ReplyDeleteEasy joe,

ReplyDelete" Russia's economy is in rather sad shape"
ReplyDeleteMaybe not, maybe just frugal - looks like a late model Toyota RAV4 off to the side.
