Hi,

I've used diggers in the past which had the digging arm mounted on a
rail which allowed you to move it to one side of the machine or the
other just for this purpose. I've only seen this on wheeled diggers
and not tracked.

A quick look on jcb.co.uk and I can see a one for sale which has
exactly what I am talking about. The correct term for this type of
digger is a backhoe loader - I live & learn.

You might also have a problem if space is an issue as these machines
are usually quite big.

Alan.
