I need to know just how well minis and small excavators handle water and gravel in a creek. I see people using them in water, but never have used one much. I need to do some creek bank work, and the only way to get there is to enter the creek a few hundred yards down and go up it, moving larger rocks to the sides as I do. But still there are going to be places where the machine will be up to the top of the treads.
I'd use my JD310, but it would need a thumb. Plus the 310 has motor and tranny parts that stick down where rocks could hit them - although it might try it if nothing else better appears.
Basically I know nothing about tracked vehicles.
