IT is always mighty interesting to see you you have as a Drott and what we have by the same name:
Of course both are correct. Drott was a fellow who started out making aftermarket loader attachments for dozers
and ultimately branched into various excavators, this one being modified to be a log loader.
We also have one of these things configured as an excavator.

Re: PONTYPRIDD GREAT WELSH BITE SHOW
I think we are slightly off topic here
But Yes I have seen the American Drott backhoes before on the web and in some of my books, am I correct in thinking that they were at one point part of the Case group??
Heres an example I downloaded from the web.

Re: PONTYPRIDD GREAT WELSH BITE SHOW
Drott manufacturing was absorbed by the tennaco group about 30 years ago. The 4 in 1 buckets were made by Rubery owen under licence in the UK.
