Digging out a hillside for a parking area
Our access road runs through a steep ravine along a creek before coming to a steep 4wd only hill. We need a place for people to park and for me to be able to turn around without going all the way out to the road. In this video I use my yanmar vio 25-6a mini excavator to dig out a hillside and make a parking area.
