This old Hymac is going to be cut up soon so I thought I had better take a picture of it quick. Len who is restoring another Hymac and likes saving such machines suggested that I entitle this picture "Divorce Tackle"!
Peter from Holland sent these pictures of his Powerfab 125 WTD in action demolishing a building.
The Powerfab makes short work of the brick built wall.
Extreme care needs to be taken when using a digger in this way that none of the masonry falls backwards onto the machine or operator.
Here Peter is digging a trench with the Powerfab and has a good bucketful on board.
