3rd time those pictures have been posted on this site lol. They sure attract a lot of attention.

Well that would have to be photoshopped because I have yet to see a hoe that could pick its whole self up, and if you look closely, there are only 3 t-90 hydraulic cylinders.

No , it's real . And look where the rams are located . I would say it is a modified face shovel boom and the machine would have screwed up hydraulics .

Going up would be fun! I just wouldnt want to come down!
It aint the fall that hurts, its the sudden stop at the bottom!
