RE: M123 proves it
Another one. Earthmover has to give it a hand, because of the overwhelming weight of the load on the hills...

RE: M123 proves it
As a little background, the bucket was off of Big Muskie, the world's largest man-made land-based vehicle. A 15,000 ton walking dragline that worked in Ohio from 1969 to 1991. When the strip mine closed in '91, she sat derelict until 1999 when she was scrapped. The bucket was saved for posterity's sake, and is on display near where she worked.
