Digger on Steep Terrain

In this country we called it a digger and the operator a digger driver, not an excavator driver. So if you wish, Mrs Skitzo..., you can call all us Kiwis dumb.

that is not call a digger it is call a excavator know your facts you just sound dumb calling it a digger

Jobs like this are what make operating diggers fun. Good to see a real operator using a Hitachi the way it was made to be used

It takes some balls to work on steep terrain like that.

Isn't it better to keep the arm uphill to work with?

[madswordsman88]

@salmojack Not with a mulcher on, they weigh about a ton so its safer and easier to push when its that steep. Mulching with a digger seperates the operators from the drivers! Awesome video

Is this C&J from Nelson?

[soundslikework]

@muner007, indeed it is. And what a fine job he did on a rather challenging terrain clearing all the rubbish our ancestors introduced a long time ago. We have since fenced it to keep the wild goats and pigs out and have started planting the first 500 natives with a few 1000 still to go.
