I once worked with a backhoe operator that could open a pop can with the bucket.

Looks like they set the hydraulic extension arm on the same pitch as the roof then just took it nice and easy. There is no limit to the ingenuity of the human mind and with practice most folks can do amazing things.



"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

- John Stuart Mill

Great operator, there.

Saves time, but I also hope that they have good G/L insurance.

Very nice. I'll bet they tore up a lot of roof structures before they got this technique perfectly developed.

One mistake with the gradually inclined pitch and that shovel is going right through the roof structure.
