• If you are doing a little excavating job such as
  digging a ditch or landscaping a garden you may
  want to go for the smallest available. Before
  you have it delivered you have to make sure that
  you know how it operates.
• Your plant hire company will most certainly be
  pleased to show you how to work it. It is as
  much in yours as their interests as it will
  prevent damage to the machine and accidents.
• You will probably receive a manual with the
  machine and when you get it to the location, you
  may want to familiarise yourself again about what
  you have been shown.

• The beauty of hiring rather than buying is that
  you will have no maintenance overheads. That
  only counts, however, if there is mechanical
  failure. If you should cause the machine to have
  an accident, the repair costs will fall on you.
  The rental company will insist that you take out
  insurance against these mishaps.
• Another advantage is that you do not have to buy
  expensive equipment and that you do not have to
  transport your machine to the location of the
  work to be carried out. Depreciation of the
  digger will also be of no concern to you.
• Rental companies always have the latest models
  available and they are reliable because they are
  new. If you have decided to pick up the
  machinery yourself rather than have it delivered,
  they are light enough to be put on a trailer.
  You only need a standard pickup truck for this.

• Now that your digger has arrived, it is good
  advice to try it out on some flat area so that
  you are completely familiar with its workings.
  They could overturn but if you practice on level
  ground this can be prevented.
• Most modern mini diggers will have a seat belt.
  It is advisable to wear it as if you have a
  mishap you will stay securely in your seat.
• Operating is much like driving a car. When you
  first sit behind the steering wheel you have to
  think consciously about how to operate the
  controls. The practice session is very much like
  this. When you have mastered the workings, you
  will use the controls without thinking about it.
