Yeah was Severn Trent health and safety officer specifying it and to reduce erosion on the slope that might wash into the reservoir. They are go anywhere but can make a mess, the more mountain ones have small wheel and longer legs.

The way they run the hydraulics is something else they have a power line with dedicated pump, only 9 ton machine but equivilant hydraulic power of 21 tonner with only 80 litres of diesel in an 8 hour day.

Yeah it was my mate Eddie job, he had the long reach and was driving the anchor excavator, he's got one of the most tricked out excavators you'll ever see.

The Menzies run to something like £250k new, tyres on that are £2500 a pop!

thats some arse nipping stuff :rock:

[mickg]

£250k for a new one blimey that's some cost for a small size machine
