  • Guys who know farm equipment - what was this I saw?

    About a month ago, I spotted a really weird bit of farm equipment being driven down the road. I'm wondering if any of the BangShifters can identify it, as I had no idea what it was or what it's used for, but it certainly looked pretty impressive.

    It had a bed that had a V-shaped cross section, like maybe it was intended to dump sideways. It rolled along on more or less the same sort of tires that a monster truck uses. And here's the strangest thing - it had three wheels, two at back and one at the front. This one was painted yellow, like a Caterpillar product, although I couldn't find anything like it on the Cat website.

    Sounds like a big fertilizer spreader or something. ???

    Actually it sounds awesome.

    Look anything like this:

    That which you manifest is before you.

        Also commonly known as a "Big-A" .

        Its basically a fertilizer spreader in that configuration. They are even more widely used with a spray-rig and booms on the back for chemical application, pesticides and herbicides.

        Impressive, aren't they? ;)
        Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.

          They also use them on Dairies here in Central Calif to spread the waste water from the SH__T PITS...

              I'm surprised that Barbara Walters or 60 Minutes hasn't tryed to outlaw these too, as being unsafe. Maybe if their were red and said Honda on them ;D

                      My father had the same kinda thing with a tank on for spraying chemicals. Had to park it when the tires started giving trouble. I remember him saying the thing had crazy top end (50MPH). It was powered by a 390 Ford.
