Yeah that place is big. I attended the Mid America Truck Show with a friend in March of 2007 exactly 4 weeks after having my hip replaced. That was the most walking I had done after the surgery and I had my doctor's approval with advice to rest often. It was just a day trip for us but it began about 4 AM and ended at 9 PM. Y'all enjoy yourselves.

I worked for our irrigation district cleaning the silt out of the canals prior to filling. I have probably spent a 1,000 hours running one of the old Detroit powered, Drott wheeled excavators. It was pretty cool though, once you finished a stretch of canal you could simply road it to the next spot, 1 man operation, no semi or trailer required.

They’re affordable. One nearby me with only 1,773 hours, auxiliary hydraulics, thumb, mower, and both a tooth and straight bucket sold for $13,000. It almost had that much in new tires, hoses, and attachments alone. Drott made excellent equipment, but sadly they’ve been forgotten by most. 😥

Here in Europe, these mini excavators on wheels are often used on railways. They then have four small wheels with flanges, driven by the tyres (in the opposite direction, if I'm right). They can grab things (using a rotating grapple almost by default), they may have a lorrie connected, they can serve as a man-lift (many railways here feature overhead powerlines). Some major railway works here in the Netherlands may have a webcam working 24/7. These minis are the real workhorses. KZfaq has poor search tools. There is some channel like "Red from Iowa" who featured bigger ones on American railroad tracks, around April 2023. Not as lively, though.
