Oddball Heavy Equipment

I'll work on acquiring canadian tuxedos and a chin.

Thought they handed those out for free at the border.

I remember seeing two newer versions of these on a dealer lot before. I don't know if there were factory built or aftermarket but they definitely weren't farmer built

Not real odd. The guy still works it. Not for sale.

Articulated forklift. Detroit and 13000 lbs capacity.

 

[Muckin_Slusher]

Reach truck with "offroad wheels"

I'd bet those big front wheels make it worse offroad. Normally there's two wheels there, and they're on a little pivot like a tiny walking beam.

I could get that thing stuck so fuckin' fast.

Did you mean to quote the yellow forklift or the red forklift?

 

[bgaidan]

Yes.


The red one wouldn't even make it off the trailer before getting stuck. The yellow one would be burried up to its belly pan as soon as I hit that soft spot by the shop.

Still havnt put a plate over that spot?

It needs about 3000lb more counterweight, twice as much cylinder on the boom and another 2ft of fork length to be properly awesome.

Querfahrt? Queer fart? Ok...

Looked it up, means "crossing."

That applies to every machine I’ve ever been on.

There is a class of tractors referred to as "high crop" or "high clearance" tractors. Think of modern day spray-coupe type stuff. That one seems excessive, but I'd guess it is along those lines.

That’s far taller than any High Crop I’ve ever seen. I’m curious if it was designed to be used in a crop like sugarcane.

Heres some more High riding machinery. These log haulers using Eaton HO axles caught my eye at a festival yesterday.

 

[Muckin_Slusher]

Would this be for the top of a silo?

 

[PAToyota]

I've only been in traditional agricultural silos, which do have a winch to raise and lower the unloader. This one seems excessive, but is obviously also a larger silo (or whatever space it is).

Missiles

 

[sdmuleman]

Not missiles - too big of diameter, too light of crane, and crane would be in the way launching.

Construction of some sort of vertical shaft?

Nuclear power plants commonly have a setup like that though far far heavier to move various stuff within the containment. Containment is circular for structural reasons, so use a circular bridge crane.

Any sort of tall crop - sugar can, green beans, etc. Seen some wachy stuff built for tree farms with the same basic concept too.

I see wonky stuff all of the time. Possibly something for a vineyard or corn detasseling.

I’ve always liked the Allis Chalmers model G as an odd ball tractor. They aren’t common here, but I saw a bunch when I lived in VA.

Found another Bell Ultra

The next iteration of big weird bulldozers. Euclid tc-12, with twin Detroits.

Here's one I video'd working (playing) earlier in the year. It's the last 5 seconds.

My new rock crusher.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

My new rock....

I love this and want more context. Is this a machine you're going to use or a museum piece?

I am after the crusher,just to play with. No plans for the tractor/power unit.

 

[AKnate]

That thing might be older than the rock it'll crush.
