The boom movements were also able to carefully remove dirt while working at various angles alongside the established concrete sections. XL Series hydraulics automatically adjusted boom power for excavation or for fine grading without the need for mode selection or wasting fuel. Not only was the Model XL 3100 able to complete the job effectively and quickly, the short rear swing of the machine enabled traffic to continue to move smoothly through the area. The mobility of the Model XL 3100 also was an advantage. Not only could workers drive the machine to the site, avoiding the need for a trailer, the Model XL 3100 also is designed to be repositioned from the upper operator cab.
