After yesterday I am more convinced than ever that a silt scoop is the way to go. With a D69u I assisted an excavator in cleaning out a small dam. There was a lot of double handling with the excavator,
also found that the dozer could only move a very small amount of mud up the batter, which had been badly constructed in the first place.
A fair amount of mud had been removed with the dozer before the excavator was brought in and this was a credit to the dozers owner. Taking into consideration the time taken to do this, the dozers time
would have been far better utilized pulling a silt scoop, there would have been no need for the excavator.
