Hi, has anyone seen in the flesh, either the small Cabrita backhoe or the one built by Groupe FCM- 'the orbit' model. Also Candig briefly made a couple of 360's
I have some plans to give me the boom/bucket/stick geometry - but am struggling with the diameter of the non moving swing or slew post, the vertical round bar that all swings & pivots on - I do not wish this to be too weak & bend in use. I gather Cabrita is used by rental companies across Canada. Wondered if anyone knew of one & could measure this part?

Also in Europe Jmeka build one, & there was a Brazillian one named Brattu, & once a Finnish 'Topi Motorshovel' Thanks, Pete
