    Yes, DAF tractors are really crap, that's why they are the best selling tractors in Europe. But of course, all those buyers haven't sought the advise of a certain Polish expert.

    After what you and other NA contributors wrote, I'm not very impressed by NA dealers. Perhaps European dealers are better and more knowledgeable?

    No, it's not a crane, and it's not an excavator. We call it a wrecking machine.

    There are plenty of hydraulic cranes without cables.

    Well the rest of the world disagrees.

    They're either called knuckle booms or pickers.

    The USA is not the rest of the world. You have absolutely no idea how these things are called in other languages.
    In the USA, here they are called hydraulic cranes, or loading cranes for trucks (roughly translated).
