Oh, oh you mean the BC operator....:rofl_200::rofl_200::rofl_200: He is pretty good without a doubt.
When I was a youngster (9-10 years old) my dad had a John Deere backhoe(450, I think) that he sometimes needed me to drive to/ or back from different jobs, I drove that thing 10-12 miles sometimes! My dad just took off in the dump truck to drop the load off and I would be all by myself, you know doing wheelies, stopping and digging a hole off the side of a two track, you know, plowing through a small stand of saplings. I did get questioned once in a while what took me so long, why there was a branch dragging underneath but no big trouble since I got lucky not breaking anything (that I remember anyway:biglaugh.
Looked something like this:
Yup, no rollover bars or cab/ nothing to stop a tree from falling on the operator, guess they were not needed back then!
