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

I did 8 hours breaking out concrete floors today varied from 40mm to 400mm in the kx71-3 and Krupp breaker I had it regassed the other day did almost 400m2 of the 540m slab. Had ear defenders and safety specs on but still got a cracking headache

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
