Crane tips into trench while lowering backhoe

It’s unclear what was more dangerous: the attempt to lower the backhoe, or the trench itself. Note: If the video embed doesn’t appear above, or if the embed itself doesn’t […]

Guy starting up this 60-year-old JCB backhoe is a moment of pure zen
Not one word is spoken in the 5 minutes and 38 seconds video. Just the sound of birds tweeting, metal creaking and, eventually, the roar of a very old engine.

Backhoe operator climbs machine into stream, waddles on through
No. 4 Video of 2015 « No. 5 No. 3 »  While this video is far from amazing, it is quite interesting from the standpoint that I have no idea what the point of it all is. It’s cool, though not entirely novel, that the operator can lower the machine down into this stream, […]
