This guy is actually a very good operator.
Picking up a Coke can.
YouTube - Excavator Challenge 3 coca-cola can
Someone posted up a video of picking up a quarter with a forklift. I challenged the same guy in the video above to pick up a quarter with his 25 tonner.

They do pond renovations. Usually when they are too full of silt and the pond owner is getting fined. In this video the guy's boss buried the Daewoo. The guy came from another job 25 miles away with the Volvo and some mud mats to rescue him. Here is the video of it.

I dont think she liked us too much after that...
Im 24 and I use knee pads! Of course I dont do anything on a daily basis that requires them. Ever since I had a staple put in my knee it kills me to take a knee or anything of that nature. The staple seems to wanna dig thru my knee! Ill take a joke or 2 these days...not worth the pain! Ill probably have arthritis in my ankle in a few years...sad but true!
I used to feel th same way. I'm 42 and have arthritis in both knees and my right shoulder. I should have been smarter and used knee pads and stuff when i was younger, but back then it was'nt the "cool" thing to do in the trade.........I sould'nt have listened to them.

Well I'm headed to bed now. My last 2 midterms are tomorrow. Geometry and Spanish. Spanish is a joke. It's all multiple choice and the answers are in alphabetical order starting at the bottom. IE: 10: A 9: B 8: C you get the idea.
I'll try to find some more videos of idiots tomorrow afternoon.

I paid about 16k for my truck 2 years ago, when they were still selling like crazy. It had 70k on it.
wow, no kidding. I've worked with some amazing guys, seen some incredible stuff and some really dumb stuff... That being said, this story comes from two seperate sources and from the pipeline in Canada...
Apparently some guys I know were very bored one day, and decided to try this out. You take the biggest excavator you can find, get a guy to run the machine and another to crawl in the bucket. Close the bucket and claw. Then you lift it up and spin it around 360 like a carnival ride.....I wish to heaven I was kidding.....I can only hope these guys dont reproduce.....
dumber than nails....
