Yeah the operator on the job was sitting in the cab when they called that and just revel the engine. They quickly yelled stop.

Amazing that they thin you can make that small of a movement whey you are reached out that far. There is more than enough slop in the press fit parts due to material stretch than that, especially at 400'. And if the wind even thinks about blowing, the drift caused by that can be feet.

Stopped by a friends house a few months ago to borrow a spreader and he said let me sell you a project for $100 so this came with me as well. Been working on it off and on and all I have to do is make the ejector disc. Everything got powdercoated except the tub, I brushed it. This one is a Lely brand and holds 1,250 pounds. My dad has one just like it he bought new in the 70’s.
