Great shots Steve. I just have one concern.... they let an 8 yr old boy operate this kind of machinery? Cant even operate a forkhoist without a special licence -- perhaps this machinery is different? Better not let CYFS see this LOL

Thanks Michelle for your comments, I asked the Driver if he minded me taking a shot and he said go right ahead, apparentlly he spends alot of time driving machinary like this, it's crazy but he handled it so well, cheers Steve, Its probably up to the owner and it is away from suburbier, but man he is sticking his neck out, CYFS would have a feild day on this one.

I really like the first one with the view from behind, it gives you a good idea of the size if the machine.
