International Harvester Drott BTD-6
Surprised we have only 3 as these were as common as the JCB 3C until falling out of favour in 80s.
They were relatively cheap and 100s of demolition contractors had them with a few old tippers.
They were also used for bulk excavation before the rise of the 360deg tracked excavator.

Edit - We have listed 10 these as a Drott, really they should be called International Drott.

They were always known as ' Drotts' in UK but this was the shovel equipment.

Incidentally this machine using a wire rope to cheese cut brick buildings destroyed Victorian England ! The mad town planners put motorways through town centres and replaced beautiful brick buildings with awful Brutalist concrete architecture most of which only lasted a few decades and has also gone.
