As others have said, a 5t would be best for the job. I got the Solido Smart 2-8 which came on a low trailer behind a van. Since the unit is round the driver just rolled it off the side, but doubt you have this option. I had a 3t for the digging as was in a tight space which would have made using a 5t tricky. The 3t just managed to dig the hole (2m x 3m and 2m deep), but was pretty close to the limit for depth. Also, as mentioned, the arm wasn't long enough to lift the unit much off the ground, so woudn't have been much use for offloading.

We are trying to schedule Enhabit to install the first fix ducting for our MVHR design in our self-build. We've just received an email from them stating their accountants have decided our project is not a new build, and therefore not subject to VAT exemption. All our invoices for previous stages have previously been raised with zero-rated VAT, so now they have raised a new one claiming all the 'unpaid VAT' still due. Has anyone else had this happen to them? They are just plain wrong, and I have told them so! Our project is very definitively a new build. No idea what definition of 'new build' their accountants are using.
