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!!

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
