Can anybody direct me in any guidance or anything related to safe use digger/atv on slopes?
Mainly I am after information how to identify what angle of slope is safe to work on soil... Advice from experienced operator is one thing but I would like to implement something in documentation... Any advice will be welcome
Thanks

Lukasz,

Think you would have to get specific info from the manufactures of the machine.
Maybe worth checking HSE guides for Agriculture as this provides information on safe use of ATVs and similar equipment on unusual terrain.

I checked with ATV manual and it only describe that you have to shift the weight...
only what I have left to call to service...

Problem with digger will be that on different jobs we use different plants from various weights and manufacturers...
