I was gonna say. I thought my turning radius in the 550 was huge. That is one sweet machine though. |

Well, it isn't PhotoShopped. I've got plenty of pictures and video from the load tests. Of course, if you don't believe me, fly to Stutgart, cab it to Aichtal and see for yourself. |

Hey Don, What a monster! Are most of the mechanicals the same on the Telebelt, just supersized? How does the thing handle? |

It's all bigger, but some things are the same. The telescope drives are the same, just two of them. HBC radio is similar, teachable and smooth. The opening through the transfer is huge, even at 30 degrees. Driving it, in site-mode, is unbelievable. Very stable. Many options for steering and three braking systems. During brake test, they stopped and re-started on a 15% grade. |

This shows the size of the transfer opening, with the boom at 30 degrees. |
