The Komatso operator has great rhythm.

It is always amazing what a skilled operator can do with a backhoe. I would think perhaps Komatsu might use it in a commercial.

I remember back in my youth working construction one summer and being floored by the backhoe operator who could dig out the hole we staked for him leaving the two stakes in the ground on the far side with one side clean.

I don't recall ever seeing a trackhoe without a cab or any ROPS.

I hear you!

Grave diggers have to be pretty good. Around here, I don't understand how they manage to get through our layer of hard, red clay. I've excavated some sites for various projects here at the farm using my dozer or a backhoe and that layer of clay that's about 24"-36" down is, for all practical purposes, impenetrable. To do a clean, square smooth-sided hole takes some doing.

It looks like the track hoe operator has done that before. As stated, I don't ever remember seeing one without the roll over protection.
