We used to have a POCLAIN excavator on the Hire fleet in UK, back in 1973.
I used to haul it all over from site to site.

One of the things when we woz bored in the yard was to set up a beer bottle on a 55 gallon drum and try to knock off the cap by spining round and round as fast as possible.

Most of the time the barrel was disintegrated. One day the lower half of the grab flew off....destroyed a car parked at the top of the yard...fortunately it was Paul's parts car.
