If you feel that it is a little high, maybe you got enough room to let the body hang down below the car body platform, kinda split the difference. Looks good. Fred

Bobcat : about 250quid maybe not counting the valve block, but thats including motors bought by mistake would be cheaper if i knew what i was doing.

Had a go at making a cab over the weekend, failed woodworking at school so didnt expect a masterpiece

Looks good to me... Reminds me of the machines they use for logging with it high up like that.

Dude that excavator is huge! Awesome! Looks to me like it is digging pretty well. It looks like the ground is pretty hard and like you said sticky, so I doubt most would even scratch the surface.... You've inspired me.... I'm goin to film a video of what I've been up to today... Thanks!
