>> Anyone else done any playing with 'proper' diggers and things?

Small dumper trucks are great. Rear wheel steering took a bit of getting used to. Amazing amounts of torque from their engines at low revs. Drove one several years ago, pulled away in top gear (3rd) instead of first. Engine sounded like it was doing 5 revs / min. Thump ....... Thump ....... Thump ....... Thump ....... Thump ....... Thump ....... Thump ....... Thump.
