I have many hours of work to do on fairly steep slopes with my mini excavator.
I can either:
(1) back up the hill and keep the machine level by digging over over the back of the machine with the blade lower than the machine to keep it somewhat level. I understand this may stress my tracks by backing up the hill and digging over the drive sprokets is to be avoided if possible
OR
(2) drive forward up the hill & dig over the front of the machine but with the machine on an steep incline, slewing up and down hill.
Which technique is easiest on the machine?
Thanks;
