woodland digging

 the bucket is too "sticky" when dealing with wet clay, the wet clay just sticks to it and does not want to detach from the bucket


the blade is the only tool to use in wet conditions as you can put the full weight (5 tonne) of the machine behind it...and the clay cannot stick so easily

 you can but its cheaper to hire for a week as you need site delivery, site insurance (against machine damage) and extra fuel

expect to pay GBP£600 a week from a commerical hirer, and you also need someone to drive the machine

I spent months driving a similar machine on the LDJ project in East London so have some experience, the first few days at Esher X have been 'rusty' but its all come back and I am making much better transitional moves and shapes now!

 would of thought u would of been best of using the bucket

 can you like hire these for a day

 Bored of bikes now, Rob?! Haha

 

 I wish I had a digger
