This hill is mine
The king of the hill. My reader Andreas alerted me to the fact that excavator I had shown a few days ago is a rather special beast. To be honest, I hadn't really thought much about these things before (especially as a flatlander) but after learning a little more about them I have to admit that I find these Menzi Muck creations quite fascinating. Pictured here is the A61, the smallest all-rounder of the Muck line. The name is from a jack-of-all-trades character in a Swiss fairy tale but it seems to me they're also quite the muckity-muck (definition here) amongst excavators.
Check out this clip of the A91 working on a steep slope:
