Digging The Dirt!

We have the builders in at work, building a new teaching block and this small excavator has been hard at work helping to dig the foundations.

Komatsu is a Japanese company founded in 1917 and is named after a city with the same name which in turn means small pine tree. This machine is a small excavator model PC88MR and has a 65HP engine. Since childhood I have always liked tractors and machinery and they are fascinating to watch as well as the range of tasks they can do, even with a relatively small machine. I also admire the skill in operating them, with a multitude of controls, driving and operating one of these is never going to be like getting into a car and driving off!
