haha that cool. When our pool was getting dug the guy dug most all of it with a bobcat with tracks. Watching that guy work was really entertaining.

He's not bad, but he's got a limited number of tricks - and he's not the least bit productive. (I bet his mechanic hates him too.) Now, the guy I work for in the winter (snow plowing) makes him look absolutley Junior Varsity. I've marveled at Mike wheeling a New Holland skid steer around clearing show and loading it into dump trucks. People have actually stopped to watch him work. Not only does he absolutely make the machine dance, but there isn't a wasted motion anywhere. Now that's talent and productivity!

That looks exactly like when my 12 yr old runs a skid loader. Beats the machine and himself to death!

If I caught an employee doing that in a machine he would not only be unemployed he would have to have my foot removed from his ****.

Exactly! And the guy I'm talking about is very gentle on the equipment because he's just plain smoooth!

As for the guy in the video: "Never confuse activity with progress."

Wow must be some type of county crew there. Takes 3-5 people just to videotape someone screwing around in what is obviously not their own equipment.

I am thinking that someone forgot to take the key with them when they left the jobsite and they are having fun tearing up about a $38k machine.

Yea.. That wasn't even entertaining.

Watch someone who can really run one.

Every year at the monster truck show here, they have square dancing skid-steer's. Now thats entertaining.
