Excavator Arm Request

Just wondering if someone could build an excavator arm to put on the platform. I need it to start on the round block in the second picture, and end somewhere in the third picture, as well as being in an already mostly extended position. It also needs to have a rather low part count, as it will go onto an already very big creation. I will give credit to the user who's arm I use.

    Yes, I just wanted it to be able to lay flatter to lower the profile. Actually, it could probably be built in an upright position and setting the vehicle up could require extending the arm to the back

    Just a Q. Will the arm go from the first circle to the target destination when the arm is fully extended?
