Menzi Walking Excavator - Best Video Ever!

[BrianHay]

I have been really busy but not in the seat unfortunately. That will be changing soon though, things are starting to really come together for us slowly but surely.

Now that pic size isn't an issue anymore (thanks Steve and all others involved :thumbsup:thumbsup )I can post a few of the best from that Hazco project for you guys As I mentioned before the operator wearing orange is not me. He is a supervisor with Hazco that used to be a Spyder Hoe operator in Switzerland. I let him have a go at our machine and got some great pics

 

[BrianHay]

I love the shots I got near the buildings, they really show how steep it is.

Hi Brian, sorry to read about your truck getting pinched. :Banghead
A set back that you could easily do without, but I am sure you will not let it beat you. Very frustrating though, I know !

That toy makes me smile every time I see it :notworthy

Did not get enough interest in the Menzi this spring, so had to go with the sure money and get back into hauling a tanker, good money and home every night. I will spend the year promoting the Menzi and try again next spring.

Never give up Foster....I had a really hard time getting started and more tuff times are ahead yet I'm sure but keep at it and it will come together.

Hi Winn, if your looking for one I can put you in contact with the right people. I keep in contact with several contractors in the U.S and Canada that have them as well as 3 dealers, two in the U.S and one in Canada.

 

[Foster]

Thanks for the offer Winn, no offense taken. Bought my first truck in 1977 and I have had enough of the road, but it is what they pay me to do. Took me three an a half years to find my Menzi. not quite ready to sell but I will keep you in mind if the time comes.

 

[hottimedancer]

Thank You for the offer

Thank You Brain for the offer. I still wish you the best of luck and I very much enjoyed your story. I would buy if the right machine came along, but I am in no hurry. Thanks winn

 

[hottimedancer]

Foster No problem

No problem please do keep me in mind. I understand completely. It takes a long time to find what you are looking for. Every time I hurry I get screwed. Best of luck. Sincerly winn

New Bucket?

Has the new bucket arrived yet? I'm looking forward to hearing about it and seeing what it looks like on your spyder-hoe

 

[BrianHay]

Not yet Bear, estimated shipping date is June 20. I have a great project for it when it arrives, another rock wall. The last one I did was with 2-3 foot rock and wasn't to hard to do with my cleanup bucket. But the next one is 3-4 foot granite rocks so I'm waiting for the PowerGrip to takle that one. Should make for some great pictures.

 

[bear]

Ok

Thanks for the update Brian. That's an awesome machine you have there and I can't wait to see the new bucket. Have fun!

That is a very interesting excavator design. I've never seen anything like it before.

I know what you mean. The thing looks to be an awesome way of getting into and out of some rough jobs. I ever take the plunge I may get one, lots of work could be done around here for sure.

 

[BrianHay]

Only a few days left and the new bucket should be on its way :bouncegri

For those that have been asking me where to find. I know where there are two right now for a great price. A 93 and a 95 TurboStar for 75k each.....wish I was ready to buy our next machine because I would not hesitate to scoop em up.

 

[Foster]

I started this landscape project in my back yard last spring, so far all I have into it is time and fuel.

A few more pics, nearing the end of the project.
