Yeah, I watched that. He is a great excavator operator, very smooth and quick, knows exactly what he is going to do. I used to sell them and operated them a few times but never to demo to a customer or I would have lost the sale!

They are fun.
Like a giant video game, but in real life.

Kinda wanna try out the Case electric backhoe.
Their latest diesel units are problematic.

But, contractors will be charging them with diesel gensets.

Haven't kept up with the industry since I retired but hybrid excavators and electric are obviously available. Really, they have been for a long time, the big mining shovels are diesel electric as are LeTournea wheel loaders and mining trucks and have been for years.
