LOADING FROM A BANK

Choose a forward gear that provides sufficient ground speed for loading.

Exercise caution when undercutting high banks. Dirt slides can be dangerous. Load from as low as possible for maximum efficiency. Loader lift and breakaway capacity diminish as loading height is increased.

Side cutting is a good technique for cutting down a big pile.

If the pile sides are too high and liable to cause cave-in, use loader to break down the sides until a slot can be cut over the top.
