I guess this could count as an excavator although it is not a backhoe, I took this picture of a replica of the

Silver Spade front shovel at the National Toy Truck and Const.show in Indy. Very cool. I think it was just

on display but I would definitely clear some room on the shelf for this one.

These new ones got a unique sound to them now. Sound like crap

Its so big in the back with all the emissions bs that there's a backup camera on it. Guess it didn't help the previous renters as the whole counterweight had to be touched up

I worked for case co. but that's the first drott 80 cruz air I ever seen with a excavator front. I had worked on them but all were rough terrain cranes. does anybody know if this is a prototype ? or mostly a east coast thing?

Matt where do you find this stuff? That one at the top is a TK 6 Michigan. We (Carafa Builders) had one in North Haven except it was a back hoe They had big tubular sticks. The "6" I believe was the smallest Michigan and did not have an engine in the "house"-it was powered by the prime mover-ours was a Waukesha or Continental gas job- 5 speed with a two speed aux. 12 x 20 military type rubber. I was the "kid"- drove machine from job to job

This one came to me via the inter-web on an e-mail, don't know where this was taken but it looks a little dangerous.

The guy must like living on the edge.
