Our sister sites Total Landscape Care and Better Roads shared this video this week and we just couldn’t resist.

14-ton excavator hops off a silage pile using a step ladder of tires
So, your 14-ton excavator’s on top of a silage pile, and it’s time to get down. Seems pretty simple. Find a low exit point and roll on down. But not this operator. No. He decides to hop off as if he were going for the gold in high diving. At least he put some tires […]

Excavator demos brick chimney while hanging from a crane
We’d say we’ve seen crazier things…but nothing’s really coming to mind in light of this. Titled “Der fliegende Bagger,” or “The Flying Excavator”, this is a video of a few crazy Germans demoing what looks like a brick chimney with a mini excavator… all while hanging from a crane.

Why cutting off a concrete truck is always a bad idea
This one’s not too complicated, folks. While the thought “Oh hey, a concrete truck is approaching but I think I can sneak in ahead of him,” could occur to you, as a general rule you should never act on it for obvious reasons. The importance of this rule is multiplied by a thousand fold when […]

Dump truck driver unaware he’s hauling a raging fire
This video comes to us from our friends in Russia, where apparently anything can happen on the highways. And as crazy as all the videos taken by dashboard cameras have been, this guy driving a dump truck full of fire is by far the nuttiest thing we’ve seen on a Russian road. The video shows […]

Hilarious “Movin’ Season” parody spoofs pickup truck TV ads
There are parodies and then there are perfect parodies, and this spoof TV ad from comedian Owen Weber falls into that latter category. Just about every ad for a pickup these days splices video of brand new trucks splashing through mud, towing a giant load up a mountain, or, amazingly, being loaded full of dirt […]

Unexpected test drive detour onto construction site makes for hilarious commerical
We can’t testify as to whether the setup in this commercial is 100 percent real, but if it isn’t the actress in question is unbelievably good at looking terrified. In this Belgian ad for the new Toyota Rav 4, an actress is hired to play the part of the passenger in a commercial for the […]
