Machine down! Send for reinforcements

Came across this video recently on You Tube and thought it only right to share with the Digger Man Blog readers.

I have no idea quite how the Volvo excavator ended up in the hole in the position it is in. But one thing I am sure about is the fact that it’s hard work to watch this recovery in action. If there was an award for making hard work of things I think these guys would win it hands down.

Anyway, take a look and let us know what you think.
