Articulated backhoe

[245dlc]

I've seen a few videos of these Huddig machines on youtube pretty neat how you can swivel around in the seat and comfortably move the machine around without having to reach behind you for the gear shift or heck even the brake pedal. They have a pretty neat look to them with the big tires.

I'm impressed how they can dig and move dirt or little buildings around with the backhoe and the outriggers in the 'up' position without jiggling around very much try do that with a conventional machine like a 580.

These Hydrema machines are kinda neat that way too, I saw on a Ritchie Bros. auction paper not long ago a Hydrema that made it to this side of the pond.
