You can count me out on the skillful part - I'm more the dangerous advanced beginner / rusty intermediate level backhoe operator. I occasionally vie for "The World's Most Dangerous Backhoe Operator"
I gave Uncle Charlie a couple of coronary flow checks, when the bike dropped a few inches (then bounced on the strap) at a speed faster than, uh, you get the idea.
Then there was the time I drew back the bucket, and lo & behold - There's about 4 feet of my curtain drain schedule 40 pipe wrapped around a bucket tooth. That one required a quite a lengthy cuss incantation, and a ditch 20 feet long by 6 feet deep to fix. Doh!
