so it started raining and i get to go home early gonna rain all day supposedly, so i thought id share a little dig from today(b4 the storm) and i want other to maybe post how they deal with certain conditions. what i have to deal with 99% of the time is limestone and about 2-5" of top soil. when i dig i reach out and remove the topsoil and then i bring the boom as close to the machine and break the rock by scratching it with the bucket back and fourth with a curl and uncurl technique with the machine working my way back to the beginning where i then scoop as much of the rock as i can can and continue on im going to make a video tomorrow hopefully it doesn't rain again so you guys can better see how i am doing this. i would like to see some other techniques or insight that you guys use that maybe i can try out and better myself as an operator
