    This reminds of a guy who was doing road work on my street a while ago. Crusty-est redneck you can imagine with a cigarette in his mouth at all times. He was a damn artist with the heavy machinery, though. I remember him carefully smoothing and filling the road after digging and it was done with delicacy and attention to detail like you wouldn’t believe. My wife and I named him Dale.

    My god, I would gladly switch careers so long as my ADD and I got to play with toys tools like that.

    I already have several dozen hours of experience on a mini excavator and a mini skid steer, too bad a wrist connection like this just isn’t made for the cheap Chinese mini excavators.

      Well, these careers are going extinct, so they’re not badly paid nowadays (speaking from experience).

        The career is going instinct like not enough jobs or the people entering these fields as career choices is going extinct so there is seemingly more work than available tradesman?

          The number of people going into these fields as a career choices are less and less, that is what I meant.

    I watched a video earlier of a robot hot dog machine fucking up monumentally while trying to dispense a hot dog, and then I watched this video and man, it really is going to be a long time before we have to worry about robots taking all the jobs.

    Millions of skilled labourers probably like this exist across the globe with talent and skill beyond anything we could even imagine.

    cool video. How do the attachments work? there’s some kind of locking mechanism right? seemed like they just scooped up the attachments into place, but that would also mean certain movement could make the attachments fall off, unless there’s a locking mechanism.

      No, there’s an unlocking mechanism activated on the operator’s side. The locking is automatic (with a swipe), but not the unlocking.
