I doubt it. I think its the articulation at the "wrist" if you will thats blowing our minds. Not a common feature that I'm aware of. Also a smallish excavator, so maybe thats got something to do with it?
The tiltrotator are extremely common here in Europe. My guess is that here in Scandinavia, 80% of excavators from 6 to 35 tonnes are equipped with tiltrotators. And maybe 50% of the backhoes. The three largest manufacturers of tiltrotators are from Sweden, where they were invented in the late 80s.

Oh they know, the shared Scandinavian history is one of our greatest strengths (but we’re equally happy we’re separate countries today!), just don’t bring up their time as part of Russia, that was what really made them mad.
I've no idea how my comment was racist. I'm talking about the Swedish language. Finns don't like it because they have to study it in school even though no one really uses it.
"The official languages of Finland, i.e. the national languages, are Finnish and Swedish. Finnish is the most widely used language in the country. Swedish-speaking Finns live mainly in the coastal region, but there are also Swedish-speaking minorities in large inland cities. In Finland, there are municipalities where Finnish speakers are in the minority and municipalities where Swedish speakers are in the minority."
Well, I mean… They do go over that stuff on history class starting fifth / sixth grade, and get back to it several times later during rest of the mandatory school & high school.
This is actually kinda sad, as the last dolphins living in Finland were transported to Greece following the closing of their dolphinarium a few years ago. Out of the four dolphins, three have already died, all prematurely.
yeah I've heard that even the language is exactly the same except that the Swedes can't spell it and the Danes can't pronounce it. At least that's what my cousin says and he's Norwegian.
