Description

In this week's episode, Aaron invites back Mr. Sunday Service himself Eric Jumper, to talk about, you guessed it, machines that move earth!
The conversation starts with Eric still buzzing from the excitement of dragline week. Naturally, the massive 9-figure Draglines used by North American Mining and FEC in Florida are a good place to start. As they delve further into the world of Aggregate the conversation diffuses into all manner of uses for Aggregate, including the highly in demand and illusive concrete pipe. 
As the pair laments about the problem surrounding the lack of materials and the resulting inefficiencies, they are reminded of a past era where the pursuit of efficiency led to some bizarre equipment. Do yourself a favor and look up R.G. LeTourneu’s tree stomper.
They finish their conversation with some fun insight into the world of earthmoving for Motocross and Monster Jam.
