IIRC, Sridar has a story or two that,
fortunately, I can't top.
Yeah, but most of Sridhar's stories involve his gear nearly
crushing ME! ;)
This is rather severely off-topic, as most of the machines
described are pretty new, but I recently offloaded some very heavy
gear from a truck onto my driveway by myself But it was fun. :)

Those machines were *just* small enough to go through the opening
(standing upright). I bet that you measured the height first!
Unloading a truck can be quite a task with this stuff. For that
reason I always rent a truck with a hydraulic tail (or what the
proper name is for it).
But when everythiong is unloaded, yes, the memories are fun.
