Was alright; but would like to see some technical digging i.e pulling founds and digging in deep drainage, but it was worth a watch.

Not sure how H&S would view the bloke going up in the digger bucket to unhitch the strop from that marker post!

I didnt like how he did so much with the Komatsu, then changed his mind and ordered the bigger one. If he did that full time surely he'd know to have the 44 tonner.

Then the teletruk burst a tyre, so they had to bring in a 3cx, again, if they were dismantling aircraft full time they'd have the wastemaster spec with solid tyres

Ha ha1 plant pron indeed!

Speaking of overkill diggerwise, the guy a few gardens down hired a mini digger to put a run of roughly 12 metres of fence in,
I did ask what was wrong with a shovel, and he said its easier to dig the posts! God knows how much conc is on the ends of them lol :D

'The pole will be left to be collected by contractors with specialist lifting equipment' ...or use the 130 with a lifting strap.

The pole was to 'be reused' but the state of it after numb-nuts had had a play, I'd have been surprised if the scrappie had took it :D :D
What was wrong with a lifting strap?

Also, how long did they faff about with that bank before someone realised that you had to turn the bucket? FFS? :D :D

That lad driving (and I use that term very loosely) the slew was a right muppet and when the pole went through the screen it just confirmed it to me!
