Interesting backhoe attachment.

Found this as I went for coffee for the March 16th Storm. This rig works for the state doing what I would guess is sidewalks? :huh ...http://good-times.webshots.com/album/558243140OCRRmo

They use a Drott, badger , whatever ya call that thing with a similiar setup but it looks like it pivots 360 degrees on the boom. They used it on brigdes where the guard rails had so much snow on top of it they pushed it back alot farther than the wing on the truck and grader can get.

I bet that works well scraping ice.

Hey,
I have also seen cities use something similar to that for clearing bus shelters and fire hydrants.
