Someone put some thought into that and made some nice brackets for the front bucket ,loader cross beam, and the out riggers . Look like he just makes it if the rail car was any taller it would not be possible. The guy has guts but if a hose blows or the rear arm slips out it will be a hard fall

with a big bang.

It certainly wouldn't be possible without the brackets. I had a contractor tell me he couldn't finish a job because the backhoe got stuck. I had to go show him how to use the bucket to pick it up and move itself out of the hole. Made me nervous cause he was digging between two buried 4000 amp primaries. (not nervous to get the hoe out, but nervous that an operator that was suppose to know what he was doing couldn't get it out.)
