A little off subject, but still relevent. One day I was taking my usual load of scrap metal into the junk yard to sell, and the Leibherr loader was driving across the yard. This is a machine with tires about 8 or so feet in diameter, and both front and rear axles steer. It has a cab with arms that swivel like an excavator, and a 4 jaw clamshell for picking up scrap metal, it has outriggers to support it, it's about 40 feet tall. Well, they were driving it to another spot, turning, and spinning the cab/arm around at the same time. when the arm was to the side, and partly extended, too, it tipped to the side on 2 wheels. It was stopped by the clamshell claws hitting the ground. I'm sure glad I didn't do it, even though no one was hurt, and nothing was damaged.
