Minds been took off the Nova when I was told I can go down the yard on my lunchbreak and play in the Liebherr, baring in mind i'm just a new apprentice in this place. Been waiting to have a shot of one of these since I was about 10 
Anybody else into this kind of thing?
Video on the link below, quality not so good as it was sitting in the yard van's windscreen.
Operating Liebherr 316 for first time.
Dave.

Looks fun Dave!
We've just finished leveling a football pitch for a local football teams academy squad to train on, I had a few hours in the 22 tonne swing shovel we had in. Was pretty fun, better than sitting on a dumper anyway

When was this? It was really bad when I was younger and went in with my dad in the lorry... It's not so bad now
Edit: I work in a little workshop away from all the waste welding skips, not so bad.

You get used to the smell after a bit, might be why you don't think is smells as bad now.
I sometimes get to play on the machines I fix, just to make sure they don't leak.

Waste bails?
Was playing in this today.. bit more scary as the grab swings about a fair bit and if you don't have 110% concentration it'll come in the cab beside you!
Picture of the two of them working after I had to go back to welding skips
