It's lucky nobody was videoing when we unloaded my JCB from a flatbed artic on the main road outside our house. Was pretty similar to that video but with less people & more rain!

I had the old girl fired up at first light on New Year's day a few years ago when the foundation concrete was due...oh how they all laughed!

Good job we've not got many neighbours!

Quality vid Paul, I've loaded diggers in a similar way but not in a busy road. What they should have done once they had the front end on was to have swung it round and lifted the back end up then just driven on, flipping amateurs. Other than that can't see a problem with it, health an safety people should go get proper jobs. :lol:
