    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:

        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.

              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.
