Demolishing a tree

Amazing power those excavators have. :Q

It just for a moment made me imagine a robotic crab pushing the tree over. "Move! I said, MOVE!" Crunch.
Hydraulic machines are indeed fun.

Man that looks fun.

That guy is pro with that machine... I used a smaller version once and it was fun yet hard to manipulate with all the levers and such...

got a little boring at about 5 minutes

Imagine a machine - much larger and with much more power - what it could do; especially if it got out of control. :shocked:

Like a tank? Those only go 100 tons or so?

I agree BUT the operator did admit he does not like doing it. :thumbsup:

EDIT: Some of the excavator videos of tearing down old houses are interesting too.
