Re: Euclid R18
11" shouldn't be a problem for most of the machinery around here. If it is we can always build up a dirt ramp to elevate the machines for loading.

Re: The Machinist
Mine didn't throw any blades but the 3 in 1 unit was defective. It would lock out and shut down under load. Horizon has put a new one in the mail for me. Hopefully they get all the bugs worked out...

Re: Steamer
The trailer looks good.
What about making the two center axles steerable to reduce the scrubbing when you turn. It should follow like a standard 2 axle trailer then.

Re: Moxy articulated dump truck
