A picture depicting the aftermath of the development. The sand dunes and all its vegetation and habitat are now gone and all that is left are level lots for development. Its a barren scene but hauntingly beautiful in its own way. Poignant even.
This excavator had a primary purpose as an earth mover, yet in this snow covered image - it looks like it could have been contracted out to dig through the freshly fallen snow.
Looks can be deceiving.
**Captured less than two weeks ago. The snow has since then melted and Spring appears to have arrived.
Excavators are heavy construction equipment consisting of a boom, dipper, bucket and cab on a rotating platform known as the "house". The house sits atop an undercarriage with tracks or wheels. They are a natural progression from the steam shovels and often mistakenly called power shovels. All movement and functions of a hydraulic excavator are accomplished through the use of hydraulic fluid, with hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors. Due to the linear actuation of hydraulic cylinders, their mode of operation is fundamentally different from cable-operated excavators which use winches and steel ropes to accomplish the movements.

The continuing work on the Ocean Reef Marina. I love the colours and the Heavy machinery shapes on this sunny day. The dust and exhaust add to the feel of the situation.

They're making a helluva racket on Richmond St. over the past few months, laying some sort of jumbo plumbing. They dig, lay pipe, put in temporary plates and asphalt, then return in a month to dig it up again and do some other kinda thing. I'm sure there's a method to the madness but when you're trying to listen or talk in a meeting, it can feel like giant sand worms are burrowing through the street - sometimes the whole house shakes! This gear was occupying our usual parking spot one morning.
In the railroading industry, especially on the short line side, the ability to improvise & adapt to changes in the plan are a necessity. A couple of Pickens employees had arrived at the Vulcan Quarry just after I did to pick up the Backhoe seen here & pick up where they left off on their Maintenance-of-Way work, only to discover that the battery was dead. Knowing that the old company truck they had likely wouldn't have enough punch to jump start it & knowing the train was real close, they decided to call the crew to ask if they could utilize the much stronger batteries they had on the U-Boats to jump start it. After spending several minutes to find jumper cables, it didn't take long to get the Backhoe going again. 8-7-20
« Là ce n’est plus de la lévitation sociale, c’est de l’apesanteur cosmique : rien ne nous tient, rien ne nous retient, rien n’est relié à nous et nous ne sommes reliés à rien. C’est une situation qui a beaucoup d’inconvénients évidents mais qui possède également beaucoup d’avantages que la plupart des gens n’osent pas imaginer. » (J.V.)

Loved the way the sunset light hit this backhoe while the skies in the background were still dark and moody from recent rain.

This attaches to my Bobcat track loader. I removed it from an early 1950's Case tractor, then adapted it to the the track loader via a quick attachment plate and two quick release hydraulic hose fittings. There was a section with two hydraulic cylinders, where the attachment plate is now, that raised and lowered the unit when on the tractor. It is not needed now as the loader's lift arms do that job. The triangular frame serves as the base (outrigger) for stability when in use.

An ice and snow covered backhoe at the entrance to a new development on Allentown Road in Bristol Wednesday after a mixture of wet snow and freezing rain overnight.
Usually, I plan my builds a long time in advance, but every once in a while, I build something on a whim. This is one of those times. I very much enjoyed building my tractors and felt like building something similar. I'll also be attending a show for models of cranes, heavy haulage and earth moving equipment in March. Hence, this JCB backhoe loader.

A whopping 14 years ago, I built a 1/22 scale JCB backhoe loader. Over the years, I updated it a bit, but it is mostly unchanged. Here it is together with my much newer minifigure scale model of essentially the same vehicle.
