It's probably a "trackhoe" (the person reffering to it as a "backhoe"
probably got it wrong, a "backhoe" goes onto the back of a normal
tractor, a "trackhoe" has its own power and caterpillar tracks.)
When a trackhoe spins its cab, the bucket on the end of the boom one
some trackhoes can reach speeds of up to 100MPH. Though I doubt the
trackhoe you encountered was that big, if it hit you at full rotating
speed with a fully loaded bucket it'd send you flying like a golfball.
Make sure trackhoe operators see you.

Why wouldn't it be a back hoe? I suspect Gab knows the difference, just as
I do. A track hoe is too big for where she was, anyway.
