Digger and Friends do not drive themselves. Here is a story about the people who borrow the equipment and volunteer to operate Digger and his Friends.

Digger and Friends work together but they each have specialized skills. For example, Digger primarily uses the backhoe to dig out dirt and rocks in more vertical excavations. Scoop is best used in surface situations. He uses his bucket to move small amounts from nearby piles into tight areas a larger payloader wouldn’t fit. Fergus is a small tractor with multiple attachments for the back. In “let’s build a house” he uses the grade blade to smooth the landscaping during and after the construction.  Bubba is specialized as a hauler. He can take anything the other Friends load in the back dump bed.  Once.he is filled up, he can take it long distances and unload it with hydraulic power.
