I dont have a Hough,but its always been in the back of my mind what one would be like to have.I used to view a local salvage (junk)yard regularly as a kid where old cars (mainly Ramblers!)were crushed by a 50s Hough Payloader.It had huge 5' tongs on the bucket to lift the cars with.This was obviously a low budget operation as that old Hough was partnered with a early 60s Dodge "Power Wagon" (not the military style one)logging truck with P&H grapple.The cab of the old Dodge was caved in...obviously a car or log slipped off one day and mashed the roof and took out all the glass.The throttle on the Dodge would keep slipping and the operator would have to frequently remove himself from the picker and go to the cab and reset the hand throttle (rpm up to operate the picker's hydraulics).The Hough impressed me by its size,sheer power and durability at its age.Of course tires went flat and there were times they couldnt get it fired up,but once they did it always ran like a champ.Those old Classics and Americans (Ramblers) didnt know what hit them!
