Hey Guys - have a question here that may sound stupid to some but we are pretty new in excavating compared to a lot of guys on here so that's why I'm asking for your expertise . We mostly do demo/tree removal and such but since we are very dry in our area we've had a lot of calls for livestock dugout cleanouts. The problem is most when they were dug the dirt was placed basically next to the dugout on both sides leaving not really any room for my excavator to sit along side. We are going to rent a 60' long reach later this summer to be able to reach them but how do you guys that do this every day do it? Do you come in first and move the existing dirt piles away far enough or if the piles aren't to big to you park up top? I attached a picture of what I'm talking about. The one in the picture has a nice level landing on both sides but most I'm seeing the dirt pile is close enough to the sides you can't get in there. What do you guys do? Thanks.
Chris
