Good find, remember enjoying this 'Play For Today' at the time.

Worth a look at this Kramer shovel vid specially the mad rough road testing at 1.16m ! :shock:

That is a great film with Pete Postlethwaite in it, he was such a great actor, i actually have it on an old VHS video i recorded it on from the TV years ago it's well worth getting hold off it has some good music tracks in it too as well as the old 3C mk2, Hymac and MF450 machines that are in it.

Woah good find with the Kramer vid!. If that test driver had bounced out I think it would be Kramer 1 Driver 0 , no sign of a seat belt?

Ace find there, :claphands:
They were a fantastic bit of kit, we used to run one like in the attached picture when i worked on the blacktop.
It also had a hydraulic breaker with a retractable reel mounted on the side at the rear, it wasn't quite as good as a pneumatic breaker but it was fit for purpose.
This was of course all before JCB2cx machines were about, so compared to the International, Massey Ferguson and other tractairs etc which were common at that time they were far superior.
