So you think you can run an excavator!!!

[hammersley]

Unfreaking believable

No wonder it can dig a hole faster than me!

 

[PToombs]

Holy siht!

What happens if it blows a hose at the top? I bet that gets exciting!

 

[Andersonville]

Transformers are HERE!!!!

 

[Flying_gage]

Wow! Lot's of faith there in those hoses! I think it is safe to say that this excavator is being operated outside it's design parameters and the engineering team would be apopolectic were they to see this!

apopolectic

I can't find this word in the dictionary. What does it mean?

 

[AMink]

That looks like a "get it right the first time" deal!
I don't see how, on the third picture, the machine can not be hooked to the tower in some way. It's leaning back, weight back, and not falling off?

 

[Lurch]

In the third pic. The front of the tracks are under blocks on the tower. Look closer. Definitely a high pucker job.

 

[Doubleclutch]

JLeonard... I think that translates into "his heart falls out his butt", or something similar.

 

[FFeiller]

flying gauge, the engineers are the guys under the excavator looking up. part of their job discription for product testing.

Holy siht!

FYI, they have check valves on both ends of the cylinders that require pressure from the opposing end to open them to prevent boom etc. from falling. Failure of the seals on the piston inside the cylinder might be a different story. bg

Now, where's the Good Ol Boy's version with one that has been in mining service and beat up for 10 years?



I saw a show on cable about swamp logging and watched a guy crawl one out of the swamp with only 1 track, the arm was like a crutch.
