Looked like a standard backhoe to me. All articulations match the ones the backhoes we use in Public Works have. He is just an obviously highly skilled operator. I seriously doubt OSHA would approve tho…
Yes….? (Yawn.) Ramps? We don’t need no steenkin’ ramps!
But this really is a “Kids, Don’t Try This At Home!!” type thing, wait till you have some experience running a Backhoe. You mess up and it’s got the potential to be real bad.
That is one talented driver! I have never seen anything like that, pretty impressive. I used to run a road paving machine and a garbage truck, not at the same time, though. But this driver has me beat, hands down!
My question: WHY? I can understand if they needed to load the excavator to move it, but he backed it right off. Did the guy do it to win a bet or something?
That’s nothing. I could have done that when I was 12, if we had a tandem at that time. The railroad does this all the time with machines that have beams bolted under them so that they can set on coal cars.
Another 4 feet of bed, and they could haul it, too.
Brilliant!, no longer need to rent those expensive flatbeds :p
As an added bonus it saves on tolls. Now you don’t have to pay extra for the trailer. Win
Other fun with excavators: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcIWDB-uxcc
Impressive, but that thing looks like a highly-maneuverable “stunt excavator.”
nope, that’s the most common excavator in brazil, nothing special ’bout it.

Ok, I’m REALLY sure this is not OSHA approved, but the most effective ways to get the job done never are!
CONSTRUCTICONS, UNITE!
Ok, I guess you can operate one. You’re hired.

That was awesome.
These are getting old. There have been several posts of similar acts already here.
relax bill
Somehow I’ve missed them all o.o
I still think they’re cool – but then I gotta love the big tonka trucks!!

damn that was cool im impressed
I bet QWOP is easiest game for him!
I guess his insurer is not very amused, but I’m.
FAKE! Transformers don’t exist!
I’m pretty sure that falls into the category of “OSHA says don’t do this”.
Ah yes- The insidious “Digger Wasp” burrows into it’s host to lay it’s eggs, then departs…
waste of gas
It runs on diesel.
If only we Americans were allowed to be that resourceful and creative…
8)
Definitely a win!
Holy cow, Batman! That’s impressive!
Epic win FTW
Like a Boss!
for just a moment or two that truck was filled with awesome.
I am wondering what the offspring of this union will look like.
My question: WHY? I can understand if they needed to load the excavator to move it, but he backed it right off. Did the guy do it to win a bet or something?
he was demonstrating how to load it on a truck.
excavator can’t do highway speed, so you need to truck.
Somebody has waaaay too much free time on his hands.
(Now where’s the video of his practice runs?)
My uncle does this with his JCB all the time. And he wonders why he’s always blowing hydraulic seals and replacing pistons…
Do the seals enjoy it?
Totally. I highly doubt the arms and hydraulics were designed with the notion of lifting the machine in mind.
wait aminute did you just say your uncle blows seals?
And he`s texting at the same time.
Ramps…. where we’re going we don’t need, ramps
To get it out why don’t they just dump it? It’s much faster that way.;)
This devastator comes together better than the Movie does.
This is what can happen when you do not have over-protective safety standards.
100% pro.
Guess who’s doing this? A Brazillian guy!… damn, of course!!
We have our brazilian way of doing some stuff…but this dude is awesome.
and the idiot of the year award goes to….. idiot loading a backhoe into dumptruck
I can do that! Hold my beer.

Common way to move them in the Alberta Oilfield.
