This collection of shots comes to Biglorryblog via Rod Simmonds who has captioned it "More from China?"  As a demonstration stunt it's still pretty impressive..now watch as the digger climbs this pylon...

First we lock in the digger arm, then it lifts the whole machine off the ground..

With the tracks hooked under the ledge the arm is released and stretches up to reach the next level...now click through here to see how it all ends up.

I have seen some pretty amazing digger drivers, but I've never seen that trick before. I don't know who titled this blog, though, because that sure isn't a backhoe. Mind you, some of the Poms I know still call anything with hydraulics and a bucket a JCB!

Anything with rams and a bucket is a JCB!(From your Staffordshire correspondent)

Vic Hungerford

Mmmmmmm....... not too sure about that, Richard! However we do have a lot of JCBs out here too, but years ago anything with rams and a bucket in NZ used to be a Hamilton, made by a certain Mr Hamilton who went on to design and make jet propulsion units for boats - the Hamilton Jet.

It's funny how plant tends to get a particular makers name attached to it, and it sticks for years, regardless of the acutual manufacturer of the equipment. Barbour Green, Track-Air and Drott are all names widely used by road makers for any machine!
