Never shown Before Equipment Tour

What happens here

He points out an old 1977 Stone Rhino packer that was never rebuilt and various excavators, including a Daewoo and a Kobelco 160. He discusses the poor performance of a grapple that came with a machine, leading to a switch to a CMP grapple. He highlights the dangers of dump trucks, explaining that due to a 'shallow pool of drivers,' they pose the highest risk on a job site. He shares a story about a guy who stole a bulldozer right after talking to his driver.
