with 4 hydraulic attachments - I have some mad skills to use them with !!!!

But There is NO WAY I would EVER do anything like that. I freaked out when I saw that vid. The power of that piece of equipment is not being respected. Those children were in danger. Hydraulics can be tempermental - you just never know.
