if this backhoe belonged to a private company, this guy would be fired, and the Maintenance Chief would rip his heart out like that guy in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. but it belongs to a municipal government and the guy is a public worker. And what belongs to everyone... "belongs to noone". So he does whatever he wants.
Salute from me, I'm pretty sure you too an operator. Only we know that technique, in my county its call 'loader kiap'. Very useful skill if you got stuck in deep muddy soil.
I would absolutely shit in my pants if my operator did that with my machine. Then I'd shit on him from a dizzy height because he's fucking that entire machine up.
That truck certainly didn't help that grader operator or maybe I'm just spoiled with good drivers the guys that haul to me can start a dump leave me a mound to fill my mole board then spread a 5 inch layer and run the load out.
I've done that.. you'd be surprised what you could do with a backhoe... Once you have the experience, know what the machine is capable of, and doing it safely without any damage... Oh my by the way this is not a dozer 😉.. casas entirely different beast!!!... (Heavy equipment operator 24 years.)..
