    YM- Interesting vid. Certainly could tell by the guy's body language he didn't want to be up close to the rig. Maybe they have them already, but if not a guy needs to fix up a cutting torch on the end of about a 15-20 foot boom (??)
    circle pivot span length varies,longer spans for flat ground, shorter for hilly ground.The spans can weigh anywhere from 1.5 to 3 tons, A frames included. I pull one wheel, set the A frame on the ground and pull it over with my 1 ton, then cut away.
