What is the best John Deere excavator for staying afloat while cleaning drainage ditches in wet areas/ swamps. I have a John Deere 160 lc now and it seem like it like to fall to its belly to often so I’ve been swamp matting a lot of areas. Any opinions or suggestions would be great! Thanks!!
You're probably best with the swamp mats you're using. A swamp excavator would be an expensive addition. https://wilcomanufacturing.com/models/amphibious-excavators/
A set of Apex grousers to the maximum width are real good. Years ago they were available from Hitachi, don't know about now through
