You have got to see this video of this guy climbing a tower with a hydraulic shovel. It is narrated in German but you can still see the skill this guy has.

Holy smoke!! the only thing that is missing as far as I can tell is the wheelbarrow..............

AlabamaNomadRider · 03-29-2010, 11:52 PM

Yep Bud, he could do anything with that. I was amazed.

Made me nervous just watching......

You would really have to trust that machine and the tower he climbed with it. There is a lot od pressure on the hydraulics when doing stuff like that.

Same, and I wouldn't have been able to stand under it like the narrator did.

I've operated a track hoe, and was competent at making them seem pretty dexterious, like picking up rocks and stacking them in a wall etc. But I would never, never, do that. No way.

What a great way to advertise your machinery though.

Crazy!!

I wonder how much he got paid to do that? A bunch I hope!

Imagine what one little hydro leak would cause when he was hanging out in the air like that.

That was the part I was thinking about when the announcer was standing under it.
