The closest I'd ever come to driving one of these before was a zero-turn mower, which steers about the same, though the controls are totally different. At least nobody was killed and there was only minor property damage. --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum. <cite>captpackrat posted [p:943743582] in Have you e...

_AdjI_ 08/23/20 10:44:13 PM #8:	No, but I have driven a small excavator before. My dad rented one to help out with some landscaping we were doing. It was pretty fun, though I was way more nervous than I probably should have been about tipping it over. <cite>_AdjI_ posted [p:943745635] in Have you e...
