Balancing a 90,000 LB Excavator In The Air!! Tense Moment!

[@Gizmo2024]

Piece of cake for those heavy Rotators. Split cables with snatch blocks....that weight is no problem as long as the outriggers are stable.

[@jerrymealman]

That's absolutely awesome, thanks for posting this.

[@johnm840]

Thanks for Sharing. Got to watch the BOYS load houses for transport down the highway back in 80's. Interesting details. This is also exciting. Watch from a distance....

[@johnmarshall9065]

Glad it is out a your hair. Thanx for sharing.

[@BrushCommando]

Yeah, I’m glad it’s gone too! Hyundai should be ashamed at what they charge for replacement engines! ($330k just for the engine)

[@Vickie-Bligh]

That has to feel good that it's gone. You're doing great things with your property, Brian.

[@BrushCommando]

Pulled my hair out trying to find a replacement engine.. thanks to the EPA.. so, it's nice to finally have it off the property!

[@maxmacdonald7174]

That one rotator wrecker is sweet looking with the lighting.

[@BrushCommando]

Oh yeah! The silver part looked like diamond plate, hard to tell in the video. Both were awesome rigs

[@Dave_9547]

That EPA nonsense on the engine is a symptom of what is wrong with our government.

[@BrushCommando]

@@Dave_9547 let’s hope things turn around

[@stevenlatham4397]

I bet they spent more on transportation cost than they paid you for the machine😂

[@BrushCommando]

Probably 😂.. plus a 5 month storage bill!

[@garylyon2867]

Was this your machine or a rental?

[@BrushCommando]

@@garylyon2867 mine

[@williamchristy8123]

That was interesting. I thought there were lift point on something that big.

[@rickymack01]

😳

[@dankenney7827]

Well that's one problem out of your hair! They got the money to fix it where it's going.

[@BrushCommando]

@@dankenney7827oh they’ll fix it for next time nothing over there. The US EPA will not allow an engine to be imported for it, which was only $25k from the EU.

[@SingleStacked]

Did you take a loss on it or make some $ ?

[@kengriffith4968]

They have lots of money there ,one less headache for you, buy a Volvo like LD 18 ,hope you got most of your money out of it.

[@BrushCommando]

Glad it’s gone!! Hyundai is going to have to wine and dine me, if they want my business, after this one.

[@papatomsthoughts]

That's wild. Did you say that hoe was abandoned on your property?

[@BrushCommando]

@@papatomsthoughts no, I sold it at auction and the buyer didn’t pickup by the deadline (60days). It’s considered abandoned at that point and back to me owning it. I could’ve resold it but here we are 5 months later and I let them just pay storage instead of processing the abandonment paperwork.

[@scrappy7571]

Why not track it on the trailer? Did I miss something...

[@BrushCommando]

Blown engine and this trailer was too narrow to winch it up without breaking most of the outriggers on the trailer. Typically takes a specialty trailer to move it.. either a 10’ wide or a rail trailer. So, it had to be picked up and set down like you see.

[@scrappy7571]

@@BrushCommando Oh, makes sense now, thanks.

[@ronaldharmon9891]

Then they gotta lift it onto a ship then off the ship, WOW

[@BrushCommando]

@@ronaldharmon9891 was told they’re actually going to disassemble it somewhere then put it in shipping containers!

[@ronaldharmon9891]

@@BrushCommando well that's a smart idea.
