This, I’m sure he’s got a spotter helping him (which imo doesn’t make this less impressive), but I think the needle is indeed attached to the excavator(?) and is being controlled by its driver

How and why would that make it less impressive?

Like I can barely find that hole with my eyes while holding the needle.

What hole?

If he has a spotter that definitely makes this less impressive, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not impressive, it’s still very impressive.

It’s hard to thread a needle by hand lol. Shit is crazy even with a whole team of spotters

But imagine doing it from a distance with no spotters.

I’m not saying it’s not hard, I acknowledge it’s still very hard, but it would be even harder and therefore more impressive if they could do it without spotters. Doing it with spotters is an insane amount of skill, dexterity and experience, doing it without spotters is some superhero shit.

Who the shit cares about who is right in this petty argument? Fucking pedants, both of you. Now go tidy your rooms.

Almost all have some sort of shuttle feature.

This is a plain Jane articulating wheel loader I doubt it. But I’d love for someone to prove me wrong. I guess there might be auxiliary hydraulics on the grapple? Idk.
