Yes it is!

When I first bought mine it was sitting at the edge of a hay field miles from anything. The engine was stuck from sitting, spent about a week every night after work getting it freed up and running in the middle of winter (afternoon temps were averaging 15- 25 F) that was really not a fun ordeal.

After I final got it functional I called a buddy that runs a dozer service to haul it to the house since he has a rig with a lowboy. When he gets there to load I asked him if he wanted to load it since he does it all the time. He looked at the machine and said " hell no there are too many levers and pedals on that thing" :rotflmao

Anyway I had to load it myself with about 100 yards worth of dozer experience. The loading went smooth, unloading not so much. When it broke over the back of the trailer it twisted and missed both ramps on the way down. That was a rough ride.

Yeah, that's almost my exact same story.

I’m driving my 1973 international travel all to the scrap yard towing a trailer full of my 1987 suburban in the back. 6:30 in the morning going down a somewhat dead street in so cal well the next thing I know a bmw takes a last minute right hand turn. Next thing I know the whole thing is doing a fish movement in the intersection thank goodness no other cars are on the road. I finally get control of the mess and think “wow” and the head to the scrap yard to get my 50 bucks worth the scrap metal.
