One is a Nueson Mini Rubber Duck:

or a:

1.5T Compact Excavator:

The hill is about 1.60m and it sort of slopes upwards at "about" 160 degrees.
and then stops at the back wall.
any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

By the way this is the first time im using the erento website if anyone has any reviews to that would help a lot.

How about a picture of the hill to be levelled too?

Get the biggest machine you can fit in the access (within reason) the price is not a lot more but it will work much quicker and be more versatile in all but the tightest of spaces.

I've always wanted to try one of those out. Do they take much learning? Or can you get to grips with them on the first day?

General operation and digging is easy, the hardest thing is creating a level base to trenchs and flat areas.

For example removing 6 inches off an area in preperation for paving. Even that is not too hard but i always say go for a 3 ton if you can fit it as the micro and 1.5's can be pretty jerky in comparison.

Joe, you can play on the diggers at places like digger land.
Ask for a ticket for the day for your birthday.

You might be able to get vouchers from WHSmith

I'm not to sure but my husband has a friend who knows how to do it. But I will be watching with notes.

If they do not provide training on it pay a little extra for some, even from the delivery driver.
