Now This Is A Demo!

Hydraulics, guts and a good operator on track hoe.

This tower was built to show off the physical power of the excavator.




What do you think the insurance premiums for this show were?

Wow now what would really be sweet is to have 2 of them race the pole like the loggers do. Climb up and slide down.

Where did you find these pictures? Is there a video that goes with them? (That, I'd love to see!)

I am not buying your explanation. Remember, only believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear.

1) It is a SHOVEL, and not an excavator; look at the placment of the stick and bucket cylinders.

2) NO machine is that powerful from the factory. Also, I am sure it has no counterweights on it. While this is entertaining, it is not an effective way to sell a shovel.

3) The brand name appears to be blanked out. I think it is a Liehberr but that's an educated guess.

No way is the last picture real. Look at the difference in scale compared to the first pic. Not even close!

3:29, actually the scale looks correct. I believe the machine can possibly do it, but only with several mods.

That being said, there is no way in heck I would be in that operators seat.
