BTW, what does "bench failure" mean in the context of these excavators? I see it mentioned a lot.

The bench is the ledge underneath the excavator or its tracks when it's working from a level above what's being dug up. Bench failure basically means the ground below failed. Generally results in tipovers and other stuff.
