I did a face plant with a bobcat once. Carrying the load too high and went in a dip. Next thing I know the ground is 6 inches in front of my face.

Hahaha i did one better, i wasnt paying attention dumping dirt, had my bucket all the way up and dumped it. All the dirt went on my lap. Luckily it wasnt rocks.

beat me to it, thanks
I was watching this guy pull some small stumps at a friends house with a bobcat with a back hoe attachment, I think (We had some beers so its kinda fuzzy)
Rented machine, said he operated a few so, ok, whatever.
He'd grab the stump, give it a tug, little more tug, then WHAM, machine went flying forwards like a stoppie, and he'd slam his face into the windshield. I was like holy F dude, that's gotta hurt a bit.
He did that like 12 times in a row, tug, tug WHAM, tug tug WHAM, I almost peed myself trying not to laugh right out loud.

Boy its a good thing I didnt see this video 4 years ago when I ran a front end loader at an asphalt plant!! We drove the skidsteers and lifts on 2 wheels alot. I could also drive my 970 Cat and 90ZV Kawasaki Front end Loader on its side tires. Def not OSHA or IMSHA approved...but it gave you a rush from H***!! I dont recommend this for anyone who doesnt know exactly what they are doing!!!
Yes some are all wheel drive. Not sure that was the intended use though.:laughing:
Funny must be in a country(mexico perhaps) were OSHA presence is non existent.:blink::laughing:

I have watched and also participated in things like this will driving a bobcat off of a washed screenings pile 25' in the air.....came straight down the side of an 70 degree slope and bucket slammed straight into the ground as it started to roll over....needless to say after we all attempted it...we were all out of breath and sore. We were even getting paid....OSHA was no where around
Good Times

If it's the same one called "Cool Bus" it's not really a Freightliner. It's a custom build off of a Thomas body. Shortened and top chopped, and gutted clean and it has a Big Block Chevy with 1,000 horses.

PRETTY FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!!!:clap::clap:
Cool video. I have seen one from the internet where a guy loads a bobcat or the like onto a truck at regular dock height wth no ramp just doing some similar manuvers. Can't beat a guy at his trade,though you do have to wonder how they learned manuvers like that.
