When I have to grab one of these all I feel is the looming dread of a lot of work to do.
Me too. Those things are impossible to steer with any precision.
Also the actual project..
The trick is too pull them not push
I’m actually aware of that, and do pull them, it was said in jest. Tongue in cheek sort of thing.
But thank you, all the same :)
I always gave up and picked them up with a reach truck when I worked at a competitor
People would stack 40ish 80 pound quikcrete bags and ditch it when they gave up moving them
Nah you just gotta get good at rear wheel steering. It's actually really great, you can squeeze into way tighter spots than with front wheel steering. There's a reason forklifts all have rear wheel steering.
Besides, the big one looks like it's center pivot, not rear wheel.
One time I'm loading up sheets of drywall and some kid comes up asking if I needed someone to do drywall. I said no. I went home and hung that shit myself. But I sure thought long and hard about it as I was dragging that cart out of the store.
And I envy everyone who is just buying cute little stuff like a flower or some wall decoration. Lucky bastards! :)
