First up is this shot featuring an un-identified mini excavator, which is rather incredibly slung from a crane and is hammering away at a brickwork chimney stack. There are simply so many things wrong about this photo and the dangerous practices it’s displaying. I can only imagine this might have taken place in China, where even basic health and safety seems to be disregarded.

I am still completely puzzled by this photo, which was posted on the Maskinisten.net forum’s Facebook page recently. It features a Kubota K008-3 980kg micro excavator, on a pontoon floating in a pond somewhere in Sweden. Quite what they are trying to do with it is a bit of a mystery, and so far I have been unable to discover just what is going on here. Bearing in mind that the small Kubota only has a dig depth of 1720mm, I can’t see it being much use for dredging in this environment? Hopefully we will get some feedback on this post and cure my curiosity about it!

Don’t forget if you see anything of interest plant and machinery wise we want to see it here on the Digger Blog. So don’t delay, send them in today!
