It's hard to tell, but there is a graphic on the side that depicts a bald eagle, and a backhoe/frontloader combo with operator . VERY classy.
Whenever I start a build, I have a little wish list (if I were selling these instead of being my own 'customer', I'd call it a design brief). I wanted a (mostly) studless minifgure scale JCB backhoe loader, suitable for a diorama or as the load for one of my trucks, with a cabin large enough to house an operator, a functional front bucket and some freedom of movement for the rear excavator arm.

The re-opening of the Seafarers’ Memorial Park has been finished. This $34 million dollar project was completed in three phases over a nearly two year period, with clean-up efforts accomplished in partnership with the Department of Ecology and the Kimberly Clark Corporation, former owner of the Scott Paper Mill. This was the third of five Port environmental clean-up projects.
"A lumber mill, and later a pulp mill operated on the Scott Paper Mill Site beginning in the late 1800s through the late 1970s. The pulp mill used waste from the lumber mill and discharged waste water directly to Fidalgo Bay. Metals, diesel- and motor oil-range petroleum hydrocarbons, carcinogenic polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (cPAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and dioxins/furans have been found in soil at the Site above Washington State cleanup levels. Many of these contaminants were also found in groundwater (low levels) and marine sediments. In 1999, the Port of Anacortes and Sun Healthcare Systems conducted an independent cleanup action to remove petroleum-contaminated soil and wood debris on one of the parcels within the Site. Portions of the property have been operated recently by multiple entities that have used the Site as a log yard, a staging area for oil field equipment, a boat manufacturing site, storage, and a modular home assembly area. The northern portion of the Site is now primarily Seafarers’ Memorial Park, and the southern portion is primarily vacant. For nearly 100 years, mill operations dominated the Anacortes waterfront along Fidalgo Bay. First a sawmill started up, followed later by a pulp mill. But by 1978, Scott Paper had closed both mills. The property was used for other industrial purposes in following years. The mills left behind widespread contamination from their operations, ranging from wood waste to industrial chemicals."
The large-scale model has more functionality and a more accurate representation of the mechanisms of both the front loader and the rear excavator arm. In terms of overall looks and details, however, the small one isn't all that far behind.

I spent a Saturday morning at the superb North Carolina Museum of Art. I hope to return several times, and to keep adding to a set that will show the range of the collections, the beautifully designed new building, and the outdoor sculpture park and greenway that connect it to North Carolina's capitol city.

"Gyre" by Thomas Sayre (1999) - "This monumental sculpture was created on-site by North Carolina artist Thomas Sayre. Concrete covered with iron oxide mottled with dirt residue from earth casting. Sayre used a backhoe to dig three eliptical trenches that he filled with concrete and steel. After a month, a crane lifted each ring from the ground and lowered it into place. Iron oxide was used to color the concrete and dirt embedded in its surface from the earth casting. The title Gyre refers to a circular or spiraling motion—gyration—and a spiraling shape, like a vortex or tornado. H. 24 ft. 6 in. x W. 22 ft. x L. 150 ft., Gift of Artsplosure, City of Raleigh, and various donors"
General purpose backhoe with scoop. In searching a bit, this one is listed with a wide variety of prices, probably reflecting the local economies. Looks like an average price is in the $70-80,000 range.
Lots of available options.
This would be a fun toy, but, alas, it wouldn't fit in my driveway.

Backhoe loader follows after profiler, dumping asphalt into temporary ramps for driveways and intersections.
A backhoe loader, also called a loader backhoe, digger, or colloquially shortened to backhoe, is a heavy equipment vehicle that consists of a tractor fitted with a shovel/bucket on the front and a small backhoe on the back. Due to its (relatively) small size and versatility, backhoe loaders are very common in urban engineering and small construction projects (such as building a small house, fixing urban roads, etc.).
