Whats the biggest thing you have driven?

[CAT345C]

Okay whats the biggest thing(s) that you have driven?
For me its a Cat 330CL Excavator


A tri-axle peterbuilt with 20' trailer on the back, and a ASV multi-terrain skid loader.


And I have mastered the controls of a CASE 580 Super M. These things are so fun to operate in the mud!

[Railnut]

LOL..nothing that big! My biggest ride was a 1999 Ford E350 Econoline Van..nothing special. Biggest deal like your rides was a Komatsu(IIRC) Hi-lo(yellow and purple..ick) with a 35' lift. I also drove a 45' Yale, and a 20' Yale.

the biggest thing that i have driven ? well ok
Ontario Southland Railway RS18 180 9-22-2006

[~Z~]

Drove a 42 foot boat once for a while, along with a 30 foot minihome No driving of the trains for me quite yet...although if i touched the sticks on that live control box i was holding, i could have remotely driven a yard job

[SousaKerry]

IHRC SW1200 15 years ago for about 5 feet.


Also a Lake Erie Ferry Boat when I was about 7 or 8 I was invited into the wheel house and held onto the wheel for about 10 minutes.

Oh and also got to sit in the engineers seat in a IHRC GP-35 numerous times while in motion only thing I got to touch was the horn

[SD40-2]

i got all this

[GreatLakesRailfan]

Cat IT14G(?) loader, loading coldpatch over the summer...at least I think that's the right model, they're not all that big...
...in terms of length, a pickup with probably 30 feet of culvert hanging out the back end (and chained to the tube trailer attached to the truck)...
...and for a bit of variety, about 4 years ago I spent about a week learning how to operate a Cessna 172 (airplane)...but didn't solo and haven't flown more than once or twice since (and that was commercial)...not the biggest vehicle around, but different...
...never been in the cab of a moving train either- so I can't claim I've operated a locomotive either...

[patrick]

lets see.. GP38's, RS3's, C425's, AC4400CW's, SD70's, B36-7's, B23-7's, GP40's. Engineered more locos than I can name without getting epople into trouble. Legally, the biggest thing i've driven is a semi with a 40 foot trailer.

[i995impalass]

Well all i can say is a 53' tractor trailer, and 26' straight trucks, unless MSTS counts them i'v driven countless trains

[Railnut]

Oh..MSTS..Hmmm
GTW GP9,38, SD40's. Every EMD model CSX has(mostly four motor), EL SD45-2's MRL SD45's, SD45-2's and F45's.
C&O, NYC, PC, ATSF F7's. LTV F9's.
Varoius CN engines. Plus varoius EMD & Alco switchers, other EMD road units. I have always avoided ALCo & GE road units..as the downloads never have all the files..bastards.

[SousaKerry]

Oh yeah almost forgot I have driven a few Silver Seeders(gleaner combines) the trick with them is they drive like a forklift so make sure there is nothing beside you when you go to turn.
