You'd be right! Thats what it was before and we removed the de-tasseling heads and had knives attached to rear wheels to knock down the male rows

I was considering doing similar but on the front side of a forklift with this.

Seems to me the back side could make more sense.I was considering doing similar but on the front side of a forklift with this.
Whey waste "counterweight" as useless cast iron, when it could be useful crane?
If you put it on the front, then you lose the forklift part of the machine.
Only issue with putting it on the rear is you'd need outriggers (or a way to lock the steer axle from tilting...).
Edit: Oh, and...how many crane's do you need man! Leave some for the rest of us!

I'd want the counterweight in the normal spot for capacity. I've got other forklifts for regular activities. It would be handy to use inside some customers factories setting equipment and building stuff.
Working alone most of the time means I need equipment, and buying crane stuff is better than paying taxes.

Good Morning!
A newer Toyota forklift (7 or 8 series) will have a hydraulic cylinder on the steer axle to lock articulation on the axle.

Kind of reminds me of Halo where something is infected by the Flood and tentacles and such start popping out everywhere...

You couldn't pay me enough money to operate that. I'd nope right the fuck out the second I saw it.

RJ Corman RR sand yard just drives an excavator along the top rails of the cars.
I've seen it done like that down in Port Arthur at the concrete plant. They drive up a ramp onto the first car and start unloading. I'm kind of surprised doing it that way is an "approved" method with all the OSHA and insurance rules we have now.

Yeah, I've seen that too - including this craziness here. Aside from slipping off, it would seem like over time it would be hard on the cars as well.

Seen this one a while back. We use the same JCB 4CX backhoe at work as an electrician tractor.
Neat watching them descend/climb stuff.
