Climbing by machine

[Thanks to Ray]
Tower climbing, with a ditch-digger.

The most amazing thing to me is that the idiot journalist at one point is standing right under the machine! Sure, They wouldn't do it if the chance of it falling was very big, but it has to be a lot bigger than the chance of winning the lottery!

    So with over half the weight behind the pivot (where the caterpillar rested on the step) I wondered how it was doing this. Then we see the dozer hitch on the front grab the tower before the arm is raised to the next level.

    Still, imagine if a hydraulic line blew, or some such. Definitely a good way to sell back hoes.

    Isn't there a JCB display team too?
