How does he get down

Amazing mechanical/engineering publicity stunt for a German Heavy Equipment Manufacturing Company .. 99 % of the running commentary is in German but you will have no problem grasping the intensity of the stunt or the absolute confidence in his machine the operating engineer displays.
.. Notice there is no safety harness or other provision readily apparent in the event of failure .. If you think you've seen "everything" just wait for the "finale" ..

Wow! I wouldn't have guessed that the hydraulics/lifting arm would have been capable of holding out.

To quote the commentator standing under the trackhoe:
"Bass Auf" (pass auf)....No kidding!


Yikes!
