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
