    Well...if you scrap yard ever has a rule of only being able to bring in one bed load of scrap this would do a very fine job.

    LoL, that's a nice 2 million dollar toy. You'd also need a nice shiny new grapple to load that badboy.

    true to the traffic...upside..you would have a trail of scrap cars you can pick up! That should pay for the fuel cost.

    3000 horsepower engine requiring 264 quarts of oil and consumes fuel at the rate of 137 gallons per engine/hour. 2½ Gallons a minute or over 1 Gallon every 30 seconds !
    If diesel is 4 bucks a gallon, it costs $548 bucks an hour just to operate.

    That's a thirsty beast!
