[andersonndj]

[jemmos]

[leydenzar]

What the hell r those guys doing working under a machine that could slide or roll

[Foxpoop]

The guy in the blue work suit should be standing above that machine.

[carrarofan]

Amazing :)

[wingmanalive]

Proves there's a tool for everything!

[11MRKARL]

Jesus, this guy is not afraid of heights. This is a professional guy at his best.Great video.

[ExceedingProduction]

[randytosh]

thats one cool machine

[Garretthierisser]

where is the rollover bar???

[Garretthierisser]

Wo hat das Ding seinen Überrollbügel????

[Arabhacks]

And a lot of operators think they are good with a gradall? (me).

This thing look like a real challenge to learn.

[kev8338]

must take some practice to get all the actions down good! awesome looking machine!

[Otilio1970]

Job security = 0, skills of the operator = 10. Media = 5, good job.

[aea3030]

F that.

[Redrobottyler]

I love these things! They are like little hill spiders that can go pretty much anywhere. I know nothing about heavy machinery, but I know I want one of these things.

[zealberg]

you gotta dig the engineering...

[onceANexile]

I think he's done that before...

[doh1959]

give that bloke a pay rise and fffs dont tell his mrs what he was doing

[GaryKist]

reminds me of a bug

[SH1THEAD4000]

Never seen a telescopic articulated bucket deally mujjiger before. Nice. Engineering you're doing it correctly.

[KrashKrazyKash]

Way more produce, crops etc on heavy slopes. More surface area.. Plus the irrigation would be way more efficient..

[SH1THEAD4000]

@KrashKrazyKash uh you've never take a soils management class have you?

[KrashKrazyKash]

@SH1THEAD4000 Nope but I grow on berms, as well as flat ground, and I get more from the berms.

[tenney1119]

angle of repose, anyone?

[goodcat1982]

@ 0:58 holy shit! thats impressive!

[gardongabaron]

if he's american he will fall down from the hill

cuz most of them are so stupid man

[flattopnm1]

@gardongabaron where as my Arab brothers are still clutching their lover,

Ooops, I meant to say their goat.

[Squarerig]

Obviously the driver and his mate are convinced christians."With faith ye can move mountains"Right?

[mrsqonk]

What a great machine..

[317Herman]

my turn, my turn, i wona av a go, tha look a ace bit of kit, test drive on d cards me thinks

[scotty2k251]

that machine is by far the swiss army knife of excavators shame it will cost you your home, your car and mybe even your wife!

[lejink]

looks like this machine is designed to work on hillsides?

[opelastraf100]

[BooBoo0818]

The guy with the shovel is totally useless.

I want to drive one of these soo bad! theres only 1 of them (its a Kaiser tho) In our whole country, was based locally but I havnt seen it in ages. Would love to know where it went too and try and buy it or atleast have a drive.

[polopellisteroca]

trés bon pelliste félicitation

[MRSketch09]

So.. how's it going to get out of there now? I want to see that out of curiosity.

[999Atwood]

I wonder how many of those have lost footing & rolled to the bottom?

[heybulldog13]

cuz its switzerland, dummy...its all hillside

[smartmart143]

i can remember starting digging on a JCB 3C mk2, no extending dig, no four wheel drive, no forks, no four in one, no tourque converter, you even had to get out and manually loosen nuts to slide the back end over. Life was a lot simpler then!lol

[Andrey10699]

ЗАШИБИСЬ ТЕХНИКА!!

Хочу такую!!

[JonesDieselPerforman]

an amazingly versatile machine

[Mackeson3]

Brilliant machine BUT rather you than me!

[madmax21tm]

@bill45colt, Have you ever been to Switzerland? It's a 6th the size of WY and over 2/3 of it are Alps and foothills, if it were to be ironed out it be nice and flat and maybe 5 or 6 times larger... So they've learned well how it use the land that they've got... With this in mind you can see why we Americans would think like you, we've got to space and a lot of flat ground. ...It was in Switzerland that the Menzi Muck was invented and it is in terrain like this that it really shines...

[marciohammrstron]

cara vc´´ e´´ bon tenque ter coragen meus parabens

[laketreefarm]

The Mucks are highly specialized ( almost robotic) and rare (only a hundred or so hand made annually) in Switzerland. Like a Swiss watch they keep on ticking and survive extreme uses. Big learning curve to operate one. Buy an older one, work it for a year or two learning the basic moves, and then step up to a newer one as the newer ones are very complex.. New ones are $250K USD and up.

[laketreefarm]

The Muck is not new. 5000+ in various models since the 1960's. Center of gravity is very low ,spreading and angling the wheels and legs positions it for stability on slopes just like in the video. Moving up or down slope is done by use of the boom extension which is capable of moving the machine 6-10' up or down slope, then you reposition the legs, get stable and re-extend the boom to move again. Wet slopes or smooth rock ledges are dangerous, you slide. I run one daily and plan every move.

[mywong85]

@laketreefarm ; made by which country ?

[thefreebird101]

I love the new equipment out there. fricken cool

[Alessiodiavoletto]

complimenti!!!!

[unstuck4x4]

Awesome,would not like working under it like the dude in the vid though.

[cnote4461]

Cool machine - but I would love to see that thing get into and out of that hillside position.

[sani00999]

функциональная машинка Оо

[Willz136]

these are commonly found in Austria and northern Italy

[YMastersWRC]

[scottselectraglide09]

@newton92able amen brother!

[bilexperten]

[tarimaselmalo]

esta maquina si esta perra

[rhymen1]

not safe

[Lehix220V]

Не экскаватор, а черт какойто!

[carlbous]

they look very versatile machines but they dont look smooth to operate??

[madmax21tm]

Like most machines it's all about the operators ability, the machine it's self I found very smooth when I ran it, but I did have to get used to it...

[carlbous]

yeah i bet they take some getting used to!

[MultiMonster69]

@carlbous i know it just has so many moving parts from the arms and bucket to the under cariege and wheel base as well as working in the places its designed for just puts more stress on the operator but this guy looks very layed back for where hes working

[schwabusch]

MenziMuck 4 ever!!!

[5cuthbert1]

That is such a cool digger

[TheCallMeCrazy]

...so how'd they get it out of there?

[Tampa0123456789]

I hope that guy in the bottom has a good insurance policy. He realy realy trust his co-worker.

[loupppa]

it couldt  be great to have a underwater version to sea exploration in low deep water...or did it exsite one yet.

[JimHowDigsDirt]

I wonder if that guy walking around below the machine ever heard of gravity? That machine ever slipped and he's a dead duck.

[PERIZ99]

Gravity and leverage..!

I wouldn't be down there..

[castirondude]

amazing! That hill is near freakin' vertical!

[escarmtz]

ja, los europeos son mas chingones que los gringos XD

[DronPet]

I've never seen something like that

[AllanTardif]

impressionnant!!
