I just love watching a machine with a good operator. Is this the same operator in the Northwest shovel videos?

That I know of I am the youngest operator of these machine around. i started when i was 14. Im 16 now. its tricky but once your into it you just do it like drivin your car. you think bout whats for supper or what you doin later that day. but they are fun. I ran a Marion 111-M with over 80ft of boon. that was a little stressful but I got used to it.
