What do you all suggest as a safe working slope principle for working a 3 ton minidigger.
The reason I ask is we have some streams to clear and they are along the side of a bank and will mean (in 95%) of cases having the digger on the lower side.
What worries me is how quick I will reach the point where working with the counterweight on the lower side/dipper higher side it tips over, just how safe are they?
Or better to approach the stream with the blade lower side and u/c at 90 degrees to the ditches....which will mean a lot of moving....and therefore might as well use the TLB
