Great no-nonense tutorial! Do these struggle if there's some large stone in the soil. I need to build conservatory but i think a lot of stone from an old retaining wall has been buried in the ground. Appreciate your advice. Thanks again

@Rhinox I'm planning to obtain my excavator operator's license and gain a couple of years of experience in the field. Once I have the necessary qualifications and experience, I'm considering starting my own business. What types of businesses could I pursue with my skills and expertise? Additionally, I'm looking to transition to this new career path full-time.
