Open Source Front shovel

Basics

• Part of the Open Source Construction Equipment Construction Set
• A modification of the Open Source Excavator where the bucket's opening is facing away from the cabin (ie towards the "front") instead of towards the cabin like a standard excavator. They are also typically larger
• Useful for digging up a slope, as it catches the cave-in/collapse it could generate
