peabody's mate and i can get some and LL they are the smallest ones at the mine there largest dumpy can fit that 785 in it's tray
 
Standing in front of the tyre makes a great photo
and if it blows, its a closed casket job ;)
My aunty blew a rear tyre and it ripped two windows
off her cab, fun times :)
 
yea my old man had the right dual blow and that blew out a grader's cab but luckly no one was in it
 
Awesome! I wanna get out into the mines, not too keen on driving the tippers, but everything else would love to have a go at and operate in general... My old man is an earthmover with an articulated tipper, many excavators, a scraper, roller, water trucks and just tip trucks in general, nothing that big tho, but it could be a start for me.... I know how to control an excavator, but knowing what to do with the dirt is something im working on :D I would love to be able to go out there for a day or two and have a look around and see how everythings run/get a bit of experience, would be amazing! You're pretty lucky there nook. Cheers
