Been digging a few basements for a couple years now, running Deere 160 lc. I have some questions..... I think it's taking me to long to dig and finish. I consider myself above average operator, but after I dig a hole, my ego gets hurt( average hole 1250-1450 5' depth, 9 inside corners, 100' of garage footers, takes me 7hrs)Couple thoughts, running 48" bucket with 5 spade teeth on it(5-6" wide) , this leaves about 4-5" in between teeth. Most guys have spade teeth with about 1/2 in between. Would this speed of my finishing? Also I think I leave too much spoils in some of my corners, would soild spade teeth help with that also?
How much more productive would a 200 be with a 54" bucket?
