He has some talent. He uses the same style bucket/attachment on a mini (an Orange one) and basically does the work of a full crew.

I don't know what one of those heads cost, but if you have an operator like that it is worth it.

Sleddog, it is amazing what some can do without a bucket level indicator or grade stakes!

He reminds me of a cosmetologist cutting someone's hair! Knows what he's doing, what to do next, does it smoothly and when he moves what he's done is complete, not coming back to correct anything.

Probably a time or two. Another question, after it got dark, are those halogen or LED work lights?:D

I was disappointed when he got down to use the knife :D
LOL Right. After rolling it all out, I figured he would grab the knife with the pincers and just keep going.

Watching him work close in with that little Kubota Mini is pretty cool too.

In one of his videos he says they get about 6 hours of light a day this time of year and they work in the dark a lot. I think it is in Sweden somewhere.

What ever he makes and hour, he's worth every penny and more.
Excellent operator.

That is impressive.
I know a few operators. By comparison, they ain’t.
One exception, an early 20’s girl that works for the local
Municipality, she’s a natural. Had it figured out in a week.
My best friend, the foreman says he had never met any operator
In the business that was so quick to learn. Goes for graders too.
And he’s a good operator, but nothing like her.
This video is a display of exceptional talent. I can imagine he’s highly regarded in his community for his skills.
