IMHO, that machine had no business on that wood decked platform. Someone needs to have their nuts kicked!

Yeah...pretty hokey lookin' ramp for a machine of that size. Most places I know would put some big concrete blocks on either
side and make an earth-fill ramp. Much more reliable...

I'm no rocket surgeon, and I didn't stay at a holiday inn last night, but I can't help but notice that big pile of dirt in the background, and the couple thousand dollars in steel used to make that ramp and deck contraption...... If maybe the machine designed to pickup and move big piles of dirt, could maybe pick up that big pile of dirt, and move it, then somehow drive on top of it, kind of like a ramp....

I agree with you its a piss poor ramp. That dirt you see is silage cattle feed.
The unsuported area under the wood were 4' wide and 11' long!!! Way too much span for wood with that kind of weight.
