arn't we all so passionate about our diggers/excavators haha shits n giggles!

@anewbeggining21 lol oops spelling was off there...must be because im inside the machine not watching people operate it :P over here we reffer to 360's and 180's as diggers as a general term for them, the 180's are also reffered to as 4 in 1's jcb's (no matter what make :S) only because jcb is the biggest maker of these machines over here, and the sand box comment is a bit petty, i been operating them constant for the last 7 years and can run rings around operators with 10+ years more ex that me

@jpmelsdon ...That right there is a shit and a giggle. You know what you want but yet your spelling the name wrong. How many years experience do you have? Can't be much since you clearly haven't seen enough KOMATSU machines to spell it right! Have good day operating your excavator! Ops I mean driving your digger...sounds like a kid in a sand box. "Mommy look at me drive my digger."lmao Cheers buckko!

@jpmelsdon They have hydraulic excavators or excavators some have mini excavators. You can go right ahead and call yourself a digger driver if you wish. Worldwide standard name for you is excavator operator...deal with it. Also, I recall I gave my opinion on the name, the user that posted this vid changed that name, and agrees with me that excavator sounds better anyways. I do have operating experience but thats not the issue here. By the way its KOMATSU NOT Kamatsu...

[anewbeggining21]

@jpmelsdon I guess its cause your British. Not bashing you cause thats my heritage, but you guys have wierd names for everything. Lorrie, lu, bonnet etc. My problem is digger is such a general term. Anything that digs from a excavator, to a backhoe, to an old man with a shovel could be refered to as a digger. The correct worldwide name is excavator. Go on Cat, Volvo, Komatsu, Hitachi, John Deere, Case, Liebherr, Kobelco, New Holland, JCB's websites, no diggers in the catergories, excavators!..

@anewbeggining21 how many years experiance have you got?? how many times have you been to buy a brand new machine from a dealership?? if i went to a dealership to get a new machine...i would already know what i wanted...to i would say for example "i want to buy a digger, kamatsu pc210" they would hardly be shitting and giggling, i very much doubt you have much time on them..maybe done your test and thats about it

[anewbeggining21]

@jpmelsdon Well try going into your Cat or Volvo dealership and tell them your in the market for a new digger. See what kind of response you get from them. Then go and say your looking for a new excavator. Even if you aren't just try it for shits and giggles. I know the staff would be shitting and giggling when you say digger! lol

@jameschelmsford Thank you, sorry for being a dick.
