Craig - I just love the basic functionality design of these machines. It looks like there was no thought to design finesse - just make it work no matter what it looks like. I've a Hymac 370C in my own collection and I just love it due to its functional basic design to get a digging job done - any more whitlock phots? keep em coming :thumbs_up:
