    “This is the largest digging machine (or trencher or rotating shovel) in the world.”

    Errrr…I thought that was called a bucket-wheel excavator? Whatever, that is a badASS machine anyhow. I’ve always wanted to drive it. Drive it and run over a few houses!

    And so satisfying that it will be digging up coal and fueling human progress.

    Man, it looks like the designer sat down one day and thought “I need a machine that can cut the world in half”.

    Now we just need to teach it how to punch people.

    Everything “bigger” make me want to slap humankind in the face. The only thing that come to my mind is that we will someday be the artisans of our own doom. While I’m writing on my 21st century computer I can’t help but envy the contemporary hunters-gatherers who do not create for themselves the need to consume more, build bigger, climb higher on the social scale. Maybe I’m a dreamer…

    digging machine and lift table, long ram hydraulic jacks for crane and so on. The hydraulic parts are made by abrasive hone steel pipes of high accuracy and imported airproof pieces

    @ShyWarrior

    In this case the bigger machine is actually more efficient that using lots of smaller ones.

    Also, if you want, there are still parts of this world where you can live as a hunter gatherer. Not really nice places, though.

    wow this is the so big digging machine or trencher or rotating shovel in the world. This monster machine Liebherr T 282B is a large earth-hauling dump truck designed in 2004 by a German manufacturer and became the largest earth-hauling truck in the world. The top level model.
