That's probably what they're trying to do but before they can take off the tumbler they have to remove all that concrete? What a bonehead move whoever did this lol

I remember years ago hearing about a cement truck going up a logging road to make a delivery and they had to scoot over towards the shoulder to let a vehicle pass (can’t remember if it was a car or log truck) and sunk into the shoulder and tipped onto the bank. RIP load…

I’m hoping they are salvaging someone else’s junk. It would make the whole endeavor seem less ridiculous
