Any idea why/what is going on?

Truck can’t get to where the gravel is needed so the slinger shoots it there. Saw a gravel truck doing that last week on a nearby construction site.
A machine that allows you to efficiently bury your enemies.Quote:

Thete is top soil delivery service in my town that's been doing this for 30 years. I redid all the landscape beds in my old house, and they delivered the soil from the curb directly to front beds, and left the rest in a neat pile close to the side of the house.
On my neigbours house, another delivery truck drove on the driveway and cracked the slab badly. This one saved me a lot of hours with the wheelbarrow and probably my driveway.
Looks like the conveyor part can swing side to side and up and down with the controls shown but you're right, those controls are just at the operator's station. Not exactly remote. Unless there is another set of controls somewhere else?Quote:
