I've operated one of those. Tons of fun. I can't believe you can get paid to do it. I was thinking, Six Flags and other theme parks headed for bankruptcy could charge visitors to run the demolition equipment. How awesome would that be. I'd stand in line for an hour to bust something up for 2 minutes. HA!

That is why i have one of my own, a machine that is. Wife would be mad if i brought home a hoe . When business is slow i do excavation with it, the machine has to pay for itself and digging the occasional ditch for wire wont pay for it. Pulling stumps is good money as well as stoning driveways. Lots of folks around here have their driveway turn into a mud bog in the spring. Either i haul stone with my dump trailer or i hire out the trucking for the stone. Damn good money in the end and it breaks up the monotony of wiring.
