You can do some crazy shit with tracked excavators

Just before I got wiped out, our company built a WIC Drain machine with 80' of stick hooked onto the end of a 365. We had a 6000# pile hammer on one side and a 50,000 foot pound auger on the other. I had to demonstrate it. Those excavators are some impressive machines. It was pretty harry with it up in the air that far, but it got real freaky when we hoisted both machines to the top and then had to travel with it.

We had two of 'em at the quarry along with an older 330 (I think) the bigger one was slow as shit but we had removed the safety from the pumps so it would pick up some MASSIVE boulders!!!
I personally saw it pick up a 13 ton rock and put it in a truck.
I had a lot of fun with those things, it got kinda boring when we had a big job and were just loading trucks with "as dug" all day tho

I was training the pile drivers in the use of our equipment and was about a week away from joining the 302 in Seattle when I got hurt. Brit, Operators/Engineers Union.
