watab kid 1,055 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 less than the machine but more than anyone would want to pay , nicely done , getting that buried one running was the big score 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BTW, speaking of working by the hour, were those six or seven guys watching with their hands in their pockets on the clock? My dad would have said that the guy driving was "good enough to change a diaper...if he'd clean the bucket up first". 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 2,064 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I've long marveled at the skill I've seen, men running a backhoe ... I like Forty's observation about changing a diaper! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sedalia Dave 12,706 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I've seen lots of videos like this one. What I really want to see is a video of how the first track hoe got buried up to the operators seat. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alpo 6,624 Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 When they talk about heavy equipment, and they mention a weight, is that the weight that the equipment can handle, or the actual weight of the vehicle? He said the little backhoe was a seven ton unit. Does that mean it weighed 14,000 lb, or does that mean it could pick up 14,000 lb? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
