They're fun aren't they!
Friend of the family's had a building business so a few years ago (probs when I was 13/14) he let me play in one of those. I swung it round a bit too fast and very nearly smacked someone on the head with the bucket

lol. When are you allowed to move up to larger machinery though? Ive always been interested in these things.

There wont be any need for me to use anything bigger than a mini digger in my job and we very rarely them. The digger licence is mainly for when we have to find underground cable faults.

Miss those days!
