This tower was designed to demonstrate the hydraulic power of this excavator!

 And also to show just how big this operators nuts are!

 My guess... This was'nt in the US? Real ince tower though, It seems pretty stable. Think how fun it would be to hit full swing left for a while! Like a freak'n carnival ride!!!  

Thats what you call the excavator pole dance.

wonder how many times he fell?

Ok! Its a dummy. And I mean Dummy in the seat and it is remote powered from the ground Right!!????

SWEEEET TT.  i thought id never see these pics again.  id try that for sure.  id would be asking for a padded cab though.

Here's a video of it.

dont know whos got more balls, the 360 driver or the tv reporter and crew stood underneath!

 Yes uncle Tom looks like you're right the dummys on the ground. I'll have to say that I am even more impressed seeing this done by remote. Considering dirt machines with remote controls are'nt very common outside of the mining industry. As smooth as that machine had to be to pull that maneuver I'd bet a good boom operator with "the gift" of having a hydraulic brain (S.S.) could make that sucker break dance and two step!!! 

This happened after the Germans mastered diesel engines, aircrafts, flying saucers, rockets, motorbikes, automobiles, Concrete Pumps...what next?
