Title: Hydraulics, Guts, and a Good Operator Post by: Blackhawk on April 28, 2009, 03:36:44 PM This tower was specifically built to show off the physical power of this excavator.

Title: Re: Hydraulics, Guts, and a Good Operator Post by: mnkyman on April 28, 2009, 04:54:45 PM It's fake. This is all over the net, but I have yet to find a video...no way they go through all that effort to make that tower and do the stunt and only take pictures...

LOL,good movie its most likely fake, but still very cool nonetheless Title: Re: Hydraulics, Guts, and a Good Operator Post by: NWINNIE34 on May 03, 2009, 01:05:49 AM i deal with excavators on a semi-routine basis... this photo might possibly be real...
at the end of each work day excavators push their bucket down lifting up each side of their tracks so that the can be cleaned its very possible with a powerful enough machine to lift itself right off the ground.... the part thats hard to believe is how it got past the first lift and was able to make a second lift interesting pics tho that operator is a nutcase Title: Re: Hydraulics, Guts, and a Good Operator Post by: wtcii on May 03, 2009, 09:39:48 AM Quote from: "NWINNIE34" i deal with excavators on a semi-routine basis... this photo might possibly be real... at the end of each work day excavators push their bucket down lifting up each side of their tracks so that the can be cleaned its very possible with a powerful enough machine to lift itself right off the ground.... the part thats hard to believe is how it got past the first lift and was able to make a second lift interesting pics tho that operator is a nutcase When the bucket is changing locations on the tower would the excavator not fall right off because there was nothing to hold it up because the bucket wasn't attached? Title: Re: Hydraulics, Guts, and a Good Operator Post by: Mike on May 03, 2009, 10:39:29 AM It's looks like in between lifts the tracks would be sitting on the angled pieces
Title: Re: Hydraulics, Guts, and a Good Operator Post by: NWINNIE34 on May 03, 2009, 12:05:31 PM very true... yeah it just dont make sense to me haha
at that angle that excavator would flip backwards in a heartbeat thats a weird bucket too... not understanding the flatness leaning towards fake... Title: Re: Hydraulics, Guts, and a Good Operator Post by: 07CoupeBlue on May 03, 2009, 12:26:44 PM if you look closely, theres little ledges above where the tracks sit that might act as some sort of counter balance to keep it from flipping over
Title: Re: Hydraulics, Guts, and a Good Operator Post by: Abailey4 on May 03, 2009, 12:46:36 PM Yeah dude has Huge balls and crazy skills!
Title: Re: Hydraulics, Guts, and a Good Operator Post by: wtcii on May 07, 2009, 10:34:15 PM It has to be fake... There is no way that thing has close to 50/50 weight distribution. There is not enough room for it to pull forward on those little ledges to equalize the weight to prevent it from falling right off. Unless some how it mechanically connects to the tower as the arm is moving locations.
