Dual track version is being touted as an inter state hauler. Projected purchase price is LESS than the cost of a goat and two chickens... Final production version, with optional parking lock.

j hancock Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Beans per mile...? It will be difficult for me to do the math because I use cabbage per mile. What is the bean conversion per slice of cabbage? Might have to break out the old slide rule for this.... 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Cabbage is hi-test and is better for higher altitudes and its dissipation factor is faster and requires a canvas or denim containment system...........

Mike Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Man I almost missed this new invention. And even noticed it has a side stand like the U Model Macks. I'll have to wait until the back up camera is installed. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45467-new-eco-friendly-baby-catapiller/#findComment-342008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyT Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 You guys have too much time on your hands!Lol any of you cement contractors ever drive a "Georgia buggy"? It's a power wheelbarrow you stand on the back and drive wet cement to the form and dump it.Anyone(like myself) who has ever "wheeled concrete" by hand would appreciate it!

It just doesn't turn, you gotta pick it up to turn it. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45467-new-eco-friendly-baby-catapiller/#findComment-417106 Share on other sites More sharing options...
