PEELING AND SCRAPING

6”

Use a slight bucket angle, travel forward, and hold the lift control forward to start the cut. Make a short, angle cut approximately 6” deep and break-out cleanly.

With the bucket level, start a cut at the notch approx- imately 2” deep. Hold the depth by feathering the bucket control to adjust the cutting lip up or down. When the front tires enter the notch, adjust the lift cylinder to maintain proper depth.

3RD CUT , 4TH CUT, ETC.

Make additional passes until the desired depth is reached. During each pass, only use the bucket con- trol while at working depth. This will allow you to concentrate on controlling the bucket angle to main- tain a precise cut.

LOADING LOW TRUCKS OR SPREADERS FROM A PILE

For faster loading, minimize the angle of turn and length of run between pile and spreader.

BACKFILLING

Backgrade occasionally with a loaded bucket to keep the working surface free of ruts and holes. Hold the lift control forward in float position so the full weight of the bucket is scraping the ground. Use only the heel of the bucket while backgrading.

IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to cylinders:

(1)Do not backgrade with bucket cylinders extended.

(2)Always backgrade with valve in float position.

DO THIS

Approach the pile with a flat bucket.

NOT THIS

Poor methods actually move no more dirt and make it more difficult to hold a level grade.

Do not use the bucket in the dumped position for bulldozing or backgrading. This method, shown above, will impose severe shock loadings on the dump linkage, the bucket cylinder, and the tractor.
