Nice late 580C at this event; I have got to operate this machine at this event in the past. :thumbup:

Okay, I have finally managed to resize just a few photos from this event; once again I can say that there is always something worth seeing, and the plant working field adds that extra impetus to visit the show. :thumbup:

I would love to have another go on a dragline, the old boy at Andrew's was so generous all those years ago.
You have a video that actually shows how the operator is controlling (except the brakes which would be tricky).
