And, y’all, I cannot tell you the kind of skill it takes to operate an excavator. Hands-down, it’s the most difficult of all the big machines to master — so many points of movement to control. I’ve spent a good deal of time with a heavy equipment training expert… pretty sure he’s still hyperventilating into a paper bag, curled up in the fetal position.

Thank you to @diggersanddozers for the video of @liebherrconstruction on the Hillhead quarry face!
