youll get used to standing there on three legs after a while!you have to compensate with over jacking on the working side then when the booms out just nip the legs up to take out the free space. They are very stable, although it dont seem it at times, also try hanging the chassis from the legs. Makes for a good talking point with the safety officer when ur on three!!!! |

i ran one of thoose a three section config and asked an old timer about it being light on the front opposite side and he said there is only one way to fix that "don't look at it" but i will also say not near as scary as a 2001 stretched out toward the back |

you should run the 28m where they go straight down , kinda shaky, but that 32m I have had them in all kinda situations and they will rock a little but theyre not gonna go anywhere as long as your dunnage and pad is solid. |
