ploughman Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 If you are doing Mine Clearance. Where would you prefer to be? Inside an armoured vehicle or walking behind one with a control box? I think a bit of radio control would not come amiss here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Remember the Aardvark? I worked on one once, you could have halftrack or all wheeled. Operator was in an armoured cabin right at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughman Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 When we were doing Airfield Repair. The Wheeled buckets were the first machines in and the instruction was that you did not empty your bucket till every bit of rubble had been turned over or moved. This to counter the risk of AP mines and other nastys. Once everything had been moved at least once then you could empty your buckets if needed. Normally did not have time as straight back in reverse from full forward. Not to bad in an Allis Chalmers or a Volvo 4400 but a bit hard on the gear train on a Terex 72-71 or Michigan 275 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
