I hated that stupid Hungry Hippo game.

Many years ago, steam shovels used a very similar style of bucket action. That evolved into the familiar shoulder-elbow-wrist configuration of modern excavators. This machine is almost a full circle of that, except with hydraulics and diesel instead of ropes, cables, and steam.

Hoe becomes a shovel when you turn the bucket around.

I watched a very gifted operator scoop out a kidney shaped pool a couple of weeks ago with a wrist excavator, the finishing guys love him.

I have a wrist that will fit my Ford 755 backhoe and the auxiliary hydraulics to operate it but have never installed it because I haven't even needed it and don't have a wide finishing bucket. The guy I got the backhoe from dug pools with it for years then removed it and installed it on the Kubota KN 191 excavator and used it on that for several more years Now I have the Kubota as well but he kept the 4 ft finishing bucket

The first thing I thought of was a book I remember from my childhood, Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel.

must be 60 years since I read that book, a few years before that my 1st grade teacher read it to us with so much enthusiasm, she had all of us kids sitting on the edge of our seats.
Do teachers still do story time for their students? I'll have to remember to ask my youngest daughter if she still reads stories to her students after more than 20 years of teaching.

The best part of that book was how they converted a steam shovel into a furnace.

Well, after all, it is Frisco. San Francisco is 50 square miles of city surrounded by reality.
