I was cleaning up some old busted up concrete and loading it into dump trucks in Spain when all of the sudden...









...and no it wasnt my fault. This is a JD200LC. Good machine for the most part but im still partial to CAT.

Did you hit the bucket or boom on some concrete or something to brake it or just overload the bucket?

Neither. This thing had some wear and tear. It was a mechanical failure. I dont beat hard on the machines I operate. I operate smooth and efficient. I'm not into running them hard, fast, and jerky. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

im betting someone else used the bucket as a hammer for a while...

It's hard to say for sure. But it is certainly a possibility. So many different people are in and out of the machines at work that anything is possible with these things.
