    I can just hear it now........."You know, I bet I can just drive that sucker right up on top. Heck, worth a shot!!"


    I'll bet getting down was a bit more tricky. [:D]

    While it seems cool and crazy the hoe has been modified to do just what you see it do. I'd bet a 12 pack tomahawk could do it.

    Yes, he got out. IIRC he was digging a lake or something, it was frosty morning and his boss told him to go out on the frost. Dad said no, its going to break. Well, it broke. I think the Bulldozer also busted through on the other side. He did get it out himself, didn't have to call in a chopper [:D][:D]

    Ill wait for him to post the rest. I dont remember it all.

    Sorry for stealing your thunder! [:0]

    Your pictures are quite impressive, one wrong move and the operator lost his job and is seriously hurt.

    What I love about your pictures is that it happened in the U.S. and it is funny that he never looses his cool, he just grabs a shovel to get the mud out of his cab so he can keep on working. That is a man that knows what his machine is capable of doing....

    I've seen backhoes inside coal cars with railroad ties before.

    Now I know how they get in there.
