Bet they got the most money out of that corn there gonna get this year! You know you and I could live off the insurance premiums they have to pay on that thing! Lol keep up the good work Richard!

Great video

I hope your boy gets some good compensation for all the damage to property and crops.

Do that with our 450Ton every so often. Boom down for uphill and boom up for down-hill. We've done some interesting maneuvers with 200+ feet of boom and even the luffer in the air.

Got question for you boss.

I heard that there was so much pressure on that corn, that it started popping. All they needed was some butter, and just like you got a show.

Good day Richard. Interesting video. Maybe you son will have a good crop oof cranes next yr. LOL Thanks

Nice thanks They should have not left gaps in dunnage which made noise in tracks..

Wow great job

Love installing wind turbines that is the crain for the job we used an old manatwak 250 whith a carage of weights behind it we should of had one of thease are prop had mabe 2' from block to jib pully it did it 140,000 is what are prop weighed

Kinda hard on the corn crop!

When I can feel to operated the 500 ton crawler crane .. I'm really want to get a heavy job

Nice job

Are they installing the wind farm or tearing it down, it doesn't look like any of them are turning?

Looks like a good corn crop in your area. We are located in NW Iowa. The corn is shutting down prematurely because of drought. Saw some beans combined on sandy soils allready. Corn on lighter soils is pretty much dead. I guess it's our turn.

How much they pay monthly to put a wind mill on your property

Why’d the crane cross the road? To get to the other side 🤪🤪🤪 Seriously though thanks for posting these videos! Cheers Doc

The number in the classification does not always mean exactly the tonnage, don't forget that Liebherr is European so you may have to account for the difference between tons and Tonnes

Wind towers don’t make the money. The fed government subsidizes them through tax breaks for the wealthy investors. The current fed development incentives run out soon which is why the rush to get these tax havens up as fast as they can. Let’s hope the county has an escrow requirement to cover the cost of dismantling these things when they’re used up. Otherwise they can be a huge future burden for the local taxpayers.

Well sure helps that they dropped the boom

Have they begun to dismantle the other 500Ton Liebherr that turned over in your sons field? if not , will you be recording a video of it when they begin the tear down of it? Glad you got a video of them walking this one off the job site to where they will dismantle this big beast.

If there were no stupid wind farms there would not be a lot of these problems for a short term measure and that is all wind farms are a very short term measure

In this film they didn't drive the crane with the whole boom as I see. That might have been the big difference with the crane that went down.

Yeah have you ever seen the green new deal burn so much fossil fuel in your life. Those wind mills have a 20 year life span only. The money and fossil fuels it cost to put them up and maintain them they will never get close to the break even point. People think when they see them driving down the road, look there's free energy.

Steve Bell I’m not following every state or know of the Feds “funding” big oil. I do know that we, the people of Alaska, voted to offer tax credits to smaller drilling companies to explore for oil. That lasted 2 years and the next Governor, refused to pay or deduct the tax credits and most went bankrupt. Oil is the lifeblood of taxes and funding our bloated state government.

Wish they would outlaw these things.... they're about useless for producing energy and totally destroy otherwise beautiful landscape and views... and as some have found out, when they decide to shut them down for whatever reason.... they're Not real "enthusiastic" about coming and removing those "eye sores" anytime soon and restoring your land.... if ever!
