And I Thought I Was a Good Loader Operator...

So here's what I want to know. Do any of you think this Bobcat was modified in any way?

I have personally blown the motor on my CAT 232B skidsteer due to tipping it forward and getting stuck in that position when I was grabbing a log next to a stump. It only took a second, but oil starting dumping into the engine. I turned the key off but the motor kept running because it was burning the oil instead of fuel.
anyway, got it upright, turned it off, and let it sit for a day or two. Still started fine but was smoking pretty bad. Took it to the CAT dealer and they said I needed a new engine - $10K. Luckily it was insured but a thousand bucks deductible still hurt. Every mechanic I spoke with said that this is common design and would happen with any diesel.

How did this insanely good Bobcat driver keep this from happening in the video?
