you know those cute stories where the kids are playing and lose their ball over into the construction site, and the excavator operator deftly passes it back?
Or that one where the operator put a tiny bit of dirt in a child's tonka truck?
Yeah this is not one of those.
The barrel chlidren were taunting excavator boy, like mean little kids do to dogs. They thought the fence would protect them.

This heating oil tank gave me some crap too .
I took Mjolnir and Stormbreaker to it.

Cleaned out some of the sludge then fired off the rest.

Then I took the hot wrench to it. Tits up!!

Note the flame-cleaned steel. It is already at the scrap yard.

Those guys were putting together the biggest excavator/shear combo I have seen, a PC-800 Komatsu and this choppy chopper.

The shear weighs 13 tons.
44" x 46" if it fits it snips!!

PC-800 operating weight = 166,184 pounds.
El-snippo is probably a little heavier than the bucket and stick it replaces, or at least a wash.

Pigs work great, just need to pull out the teeth from the body and dispose of them first as those don't get consumed. You can drop em in a full can of coke and bury it in some random spot. They will dissolve over time.

Is that your dozer, junkman? I like the track shovel under the clamp on the hood.
