well up until my accident that left me paralyzed I was working out of the local 12 operating engineers operating a wide range of excavators (track hoe) from the .5 cu yd bucket rage all the way up to a 35cu yd 4500 hp diesel electric 3000 kv unit that could dig a pool in half a scoop. Not that a bigbuckrt like that would ever beused for a pool as the costs of moving ( disassembly and trucking and road closure costs wouod cost more than the cost of 5 swimming pools at the time )

After my stint in rehab I taught myself computer repair/ raced 1/10 1/8 nitro on road and off road at the ranch in pomona california and then at revalation raceway . got into pc gaming and wasted a couple years of my lifr doig that and then got into gliders for a while I think the only thing I can offer is a decent knowlede of coping with life after a spinal injury which I dont recommend to anyone LOL
