Loved it.

 

How about repeating the test with difficult log customers instead of stoves!

[teepeeat]

:lol:

 

top marks to the man who dreamt up that idea

bet he was thinking how could they have a great day out with some big boys toys and get the boss to pay for it as well

 

the pedant in me needs to point out that 50 ton of tank with one track on the ground does not equal 50 tons on a stove, more like half and that was then split between 2 stoves....................

That said, the dynamics involved in driving back and forth at the end would have added something

 

I'll get my coat

yeah they forgot the other half of the tank on the ground

Credit to the sleepers to guys they didn't break either !

[teepeeat]

cant deny it takes a lot more weight than I would have thought, regardless.

 

Mind you, a steel box shaped stove is quite a sturdy construction and they tend to use thickish steel - wonder how many others would stand up to that abuse?

 

The bloke in the vid is clearly tickled pink at the end in a 'that went better than I could have hoped' kind of way :lol:

Call yourself a pedant?, that's pathetic.

 

How can we take the word of this "stove expert" when he isn't aware that the Abbot isn't a tank at all, it is in fact a self propelled gun, an artillery piece

 

You would think he would get his facts right.:laugh1:

was my exact first thought when it came into view.

 

thats said its still heavy and its still impressive to see it take the abuse.

 

now they need 4 stoves and get both sides up. but that still wouldnt be 50t on one stove tho.
