Brave woman... after seeing that and the driver's reaction then come down to film from even closer and tell him not to reverse into the hole
Bet that took some willpower to not tell her to f*** clean off.

Re: Laugh Of The Day


Those really small and narrow machines are very top heavy. We have turned ours over 3 times. Never in a ditch though. 2 times while traversing a slope and once while craning equipment off a truck. I only did it 1 time. The good part is each time it took only 2 guys to turn it back upright. I see the newer ones have expandable undercarriages. With wider tracks it should be harder to do. Remember keep everything, in and low.

Re: Laugh Of The Day


I watched it twice:laug hing: What did that guy think was going to happen???????? Seemed like a pretty good operator, so I bet that had something to do with it. It took him 30 seconds get the boom down in the hole lol. I love how every dip**** in the world thinks they can take care of their own earthwork.

Re: Laugh Of The Day


It looked like the machine malfunctioned. i thought he let go of the controls and the machine continued to crowd and lift.

Anyway still funny. He's lucky the darn thing didnt fall in the hole on him.

I guess he learned his lesson of not digging over the side of the machine. Too bad he didn't learn his lesson about crossing ditches with plywood. Apparently, these geniuses never heard of a shovel.

Ditto on the shovel..........the most useful yet underrated piece of equipment I own!!! I for one am not too proud to hop off and show all the government worker types how it is done......they aren't meant to just lean on
