The Worst Excavator Recovery Of My Career

 That excavator is an extension of your body. I never even would have considered it's possible to get so much precision and speed out of them  I've never seen a recovery like this done before. Not sure why this came across my recommendations, but glad it did.  You've got a deft touch operating that machine sir. That takes some focus, some skill, and at least 2 days experience on the job, lol. Great job. Really enjoyed the video. Pretty cool.  Crane mats are wonderful. They are good for the timber grower, good for the buyers, good for the mills, and good for the construction people who use them! Seeing new mats going down the road on trucks gives me a great feeling. I loved watching you work!  The only thing this guy did was give himself enough room to work. I see a ton of people who put stuff in their own way, then quit the thing they are doing, or get frustrated in how it's going. It takes foresight to work at this level, and this man just does what he LOVES. That's the secret.
Well done, letsdig18!!   Wow. The operator is an artist. Smooth, good precision, never stopping, no wasted movements. He runs that thing like it's a part of him. I was a 1345 back when, and you almost never see someone who can run a piece of equipment like they're wearing it, at least to that degree. I'm impressed.
