8 Year Old Boy Operating A Takeuchi Mini Excavator / Digger 

My 12 year old grandson got a brand new one of these yesterday. An elaborate present but he is an absolute worker.

Better than playing with joysticks on a game remote. My dad taught me how to run a backhoe when I was around 8. I got burned out of excavation and dirt work because that was all my dad did was work and he made me tag along. I'm beginning to get back into the business after 20 years of corporate jobs.

Good lad, well done there.

thats how I learned. my dad threw me on the equipment when I was 8. now I'm pretty dam good lol.

pretty good at the grading at that age

Kid is good!

He'll be 17 now... I wonder if he'll be a digger driver?

Nice john

Drive an excavator is easy, but to interpret the work and know how to organize more complicated there is is as differentiated between a good and a bad driver of backhoe

He has some skill men

its easy when you is 8 i star driving Excavator whn i was 7 ears old

Well for i have you know I have been Driving a Digger since I was 3 Yrs old I know how to operate any machine and you won't be able to do it
