rowing excavator

[TopGunn69]

The Mythbusters used very small excavators (looked like a John Deere 135D, and a Kobelco Bladerunner) . Judging by the size of the undercarriage, this hoe looks to be a Hitachi ex550, which has leaps and bounds more power then the small backyard machines Mythbusters used. Therefore a bigger bucket could be retrofitted and have more "rowing power" then these puny machines. My 2 cents.

[antonykahil]

Yeh confirmed but this on the other hand had only one excavator, mithbusters used too and look at the barge it was moving a good 50km an hour this barge is selfpropeled

[Extremeineveryway]

Ha ha , it's funny how many people would think that's a myth ! There's nothing "mythy" about rowing a boat . Whether you use an oar by hand or the bucket of an excavator , rowing is rowing .

[Lyc4n1121]

confirmed 

[smoker351]

Confirmed

[johntracy72]

Awesome how Mythbusters proved this was not faked.

[yarabarrers07]

Is tHIS IN CORONADO, CA

[daviswm]

That is so cool. Of all of the things that the mythbusters have tested, this is one video that is true. I cannot see it being busted since it is the same action as using your arm to row in the water. Thankfully, they did prove it.

[fernfeyes]

"...watch me pick a flea off that dog.."

[kawailan]

Mythbusters just tested this.

[sprinkledTwinkie]

@kawailan ARE going to test

[whitelion44]

This takes rowing your boat to the ultimate extreme This should be an Olympic event

[Joshua0094055]

Thumbs Up if you saw this on Mythbusters! :D

[crazybrush]

it is true it works mythbusters just tested it!

[crazybrush]

mythbusters are testing this right now!

[Scottwantsin]

This is one of my favorite videos on all of youtube... I'm so jealous I don't think I'll have the chance to do that myself haha

[Durmanstainer]

It`s Russia most likely, i think i know that bridge.

Seeing as there is no trace behind the boat, i`d say that engine died and people onboard had to improvise. Don`t know why they didn`t just call for tugboat.

Or they might have done it for fun.

[cube101010]

@Durmanstainer It is in russia :0

[Ranger0024]

[BigIainGillies]

lol row row row ur boat... the lazy mans way!

[IIAdolescentII]

dude i laughed out loud this was so clever

[MicRuLerZ]

multitasking to the extreme

[MRSketch09]

That's... extremely interesting.. I am curious what happened... Engine failure of the barge?

[justforever96]

Barges don't have engines. They get towed or pushed around by other boats. Or they just bring an excavator along to row for them!

[bassistx81]

theres nothing they cant do ahhaha

[HighwayHank1]

Well it worked, good idea.

[jayjayjay]

Up next: excavator performing open heart surgery!

[KN0MAAD]

[WorkSafeBC]

Search for 'WorkSafeBC excavator' to see an excavator accident where a rollover crushed the cab.

[mac550]

[pivotous]

in a few years, look out for my drag racing excavator!(VOLVO)

[opulent7]

Is there such a thing as a coxless excavator? I think this excavator went to Eton!

[saab1255]

a very clever excavator

[edwin00420]

just so everyone knows, there are no engines on a barge

[daveindahouse]

haha that cracked me up

[forzainter72]

wtf?

[patrickrea2008]

how unimpressive

[augie0926]

that must kill the swing reduser

[rangerssteamtoys]

row row row your BARGE gently down the stupidity

[slippery750]

That is awesome. Next time they will fuel the barge before departure!

[justforever96]

Yeah, they could do fuel the barge first next time, but it wouldn't help much; barges don't have engines. They are the modern industrial version of Huck Finns raft. Sort of...

[GrEmLiN76X]

Hahaha.. Wow.

[megacab109]

Fucking Awesome!

[spaceword]

[roumor]

LOL

moscow maybe

[DamonSetras]

Mwahahahaha!

Where's it?

[justforever96]

South Korea; a lot of people are saying Russia, and it's possible, but a few said Korea, and I believe them. Whoever posted this video has a little icon picture with Asian (letters? caligraphy? characters?"), which tends to suport the Korea theory
