Delivered: Hammer A3-41!

[Rick Potter]

Sounds like it was worth the extra money, with a driveway like you describe. Sounds like a fantastic machine.

This coming from a guy who once was left with a brand new Woodmaster 36" drum sander hanging from a stuck chain hoist 5' off the ground, on an oak tree at the curb of his house.

I can see the Craiglist ad now: For sale...AD-41 J/P. Like new, never used, only rolled and bounced down a hill once.

They backed the rollback truck as far up as they could, which meant they were already about 1/4 of the way up. Then they went up forwards with the forklift (machine out front). It was raining and when they hit the steepest part (30% grade), the wheels slipped and could not make progress. I cannot see how they could have made it up that grade with the forklift backwards (machine facing down hill) - the forklift would have tumbled forwards down the hill for sure.

Scott, the lift truck will have better traction with the drive wheels at the bottom of the slope................Regards, Rod.
