And this, Americans, is how to do a documentary on this sort of thing, no drama, no bullshit, no music, no repeats just genuine action BRAVO
I'm stating the obvious, but the excavator operator is highly skilled. I've operated heavy equipment my entire career. A rotating bucket is an added skill set beyond a fixed scoop bucket. His finesse is noteworthy but the real tell-tale sign is the speed at which he runs his machine. Very slow and precise. I'm guessing he's got a few grey hairs on his head for sure.
This is one of the best videos on YouTube I've seen in a long time. Very nice mixture of audio and video without putting in heavy base music to distract from the subject. Thumbs up!
How does YouTube do it?? Saw this in my "recommended", asked myself why in the world that would be there, clicked anyway, watched the entire video. Left satisfied. AI is taking over.
Pure brute force. I use to do heavy recovery back in 1999 . That NATO recovery 6x6 truck is impressive. Having a 60ton rotater wrecker is very handy. All combined is the key for a successful pull with out equipment failure. When there is more contact points on firm ground the greater chance of pulling the excavator out even at a dead pull. Great video and a great recovery.
