Bit close to the wall for that, have no idea where the roots have gone and whether the wall will come down with it

You know your life has taken a turn when your photographing diggers to show to your friends....

[haggistini]

Look at the boom...

[flowjoe]

For digging round corners ?

[GB_Groundworks]

Means you can dig inline with your near side tack against a wall etc without having to angle the cab and work squiffy lie in a machine with a movable king post great for trenching down the kerb line say as your track is where the bucket digs and you square on and pulling in the correct way so you aren't pulling sideways or over your track motors
