Menzi Muck M545 digging out a reservoir in Switzerland on a extrem steep slope 

Perhaps you have not see the Post10 channel. 🤣

@@vipahman I was going to say that Post10 would be proud. Just missing camera two from outlet :D

Maybe he can come over here and unstop up my toilet with it. Really get down in there.

@@vipahman he would LOVE this i imagine

Post10 eat your heart out

What does it having wheels make it not a mech? Cause that looks like a mech to me.

@@Googlencraptubesuckabandonship A mech's primary locomotion method would be it's legs on non rolling elements, it also would rely mostly on some sort of active balancing be it via computer or pilot mimicking like prosthesis the antirobot, these machines rely mostly on wheels for transport and passive stability by just stretching their "legs" which are more like a crane's arm due to the lack of joints and the presence of telescopic sections, effectively making them heavy adjustable tripods, tho no less impressive.

@@blackhawksp4453 So a mech with legal restrictions

Pure walking mechs would be pretty dumb, there is no reason why you would be walking everywhere when wheels would do 99% of the time while being more effective in every way. Mechs would also require a lot of hydraulics so even if you where building a two legged star wars mech you would want to put some hydraulic powered ''roller skates'' on its legs and drive it around when you could. That would also give it some nice rubber shoes which you also would want. We might get 4-8 legged mechs with advanced lidar systems etc that scan the terrain and automatically walk over it (unlike this) because that would be pretty awesome in the forest industry (alot less destructive) but it would still have wheels on the feets so it could drive around if it needed to. What makes a true mech anyway? I'd argue that it should be able to walk over obstacles smoothly with only forward/left/right commands from the operator most of the time, which would require some type of terrain scan. If it have wheels or the number of legs doesn't really matter.

@@amando96 more like mechs without the restrictions. From a technical standpoint tracks and wheels are way more effective and efficient. On a human scale maybe not so much, but I mean nature had a couple million years to figure that out before us.

Casual🤦‍♀️

Yeah I’ve got lucky and used one twice now and the controls are same amount as a normal 360 digger 2 hand sticks and 2 foot sticks but on your hand sticks you have a thumb switch to use to change what your sticks controls ie the legs or the grapple arms on the legs or the digger arm it’s self , they are truly amazing machines and am thinking on relocating to area where they are used on a daily basis

@@Rya_N33 Yes you are.

@@Rya_N33 u are a sad helicopter pilot , its ok , u can fly at least :::)))))

I wanted to see how he gets out of there!

when you have the proper tool and some knowledge, everything is safe

@@MrZobiwan this is not SAFE. There is a huge amount of risk involved with this so thinking its safe is wild.

Agreed

Yeah man! The engineering is impressive! The spider-like solution and how it's made is just awesome!

I'm guessing £250k new going off a 2017 m540 for £185k. special piece of kit

hmmm ... Ouch! That price hurt my feelings. With tears welling up in my eyes, it’ll be hard to watch now 🤣

I just wish it had a hydraulic thumb too...

It's funny because the maternal half of my family are all heavy equipment operators and almost all of them are low status, highly bigoted, hate filled rednecks. They barely operate their machines, constantly get written up and their biggest concern is how to cheat the drug tests after having the winter off. I ran from that side of the family as fast as I could. Funny, though, I'd love to do blue collar work if it was professional and filled with skill and pride like in this video.

@@sonny9608 Whoa, buddy.

Nur Italiener mit einer Flasche Rotwein in der Hand können das.

smooth operator as they say 😁

Skilled and cute

@@RNCHFND That's nothing. You should see me... no skill and no looks. Wait, nevermind.....

@@indigatorveritatis491 🤣

Everyone have a safe & good day

You think one guy designed and built this?

@@anon2916 2 Guys ^^ 1 Switzer snd 1 German ;)

Like Doc Ock

Give it some time. Not all that much time, I’m thinking.

It winched itself down, it'll have winched itself back out.

@@K1lostream It is possible the helicopter that lifted the trees out also lifted the excavator out as well.

@@randygreen007 Possible but improbable- the entire point of this machine is that it can get to places other excavators cannot go. The cost of development will have been considerable (as will the cost of hiring it). The thing that makes it worth it is you save on other costs to get plant into position (like hiring heavy-lift helicopters and don't kid yourself the one that lifted the wood out could have lifted an excavator). If it had to be lifted by helicopter, may as well use a conventional excavator at that point.

@@K1lostream There’s a lot of truth to what you’re saying and I agree for the most part. I enjoy going four-wheel driving and have managed to get my vehicle down many steep slopes but knew there was absolutely no way that I could exit that same way. I’ve also spent time in Alaska where heavy lift helicopters are a dime a dozen but you are right they come at a cost. The thing we don’t know is if the helicopter they used for the logs was also used for the equipment? All of this aside I’m not at all discounting it’s ability. It’s a very capable and remarkable piece of equipment.

Imagine the paycheck too

_I am envious of that guys job_ I'm not, it looks extremely dangerous.

@@bobbyb9258 It looks dangerous. However when you look at rhe massive grid of steel girders he is working over? That machine can not go anywhere! So he is safe. As long as his machine does not topple over! He is in control of that. That control is in his own hands... ;)

@@Roblstar While I think it's a cool job that I would also like to do, I think the real danger would be from a mud slide burying you. Or a mud slide blocking the grate and the whole thing filling back up with water.

As you can read in the discription he gets out right the same way by winch.

Still want to see it. 👍😃

@@jbonegw me too

@@menzimuckcom Vid or it didn't happen.

didn't happed it got washed down $77000 down the drain

Scientists say they have found two moons orbiting them. He needs a bigger cab.

Wait till he uses the Blazing Sword on the next cleanup job.

one word...Switzerland 🙂

With such a large toilet constantly flushing he could go all day

and he has to do this type of work may be once a month.

They said the same way. I would have liked to see that.

Winch assist down and up. You can see it out the back.

@@johnkruton9708 Good eye, John. I missed that.

he doesnt.

by helicopter

Post10 dream job

Его вытащили за трос. Без проблем. Как сосиску на верёвочке.

As you can read in the discription he gets out right the same way by winch.

@@menzimuckcom that's great, as I said I wish I could have SEEN him do so, not read about it.
