Use
a slight bucket angle, travel forward, and hold the
lift lever forward
to
start the cut. Make a short, 5
to
8
foot, angle
cut
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 lever to adjust the cutting lip up or down.
When the front tires enter the notch, adjust the
lift
cylinder to maintain proper depth.

Make additional
passes
until the desired depth
is
reached. During each
pass,
only use the bucket con-
trol lever 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.
Backgrade occasionally
with
a loaded bucket
to
keep
the working surface free
of
ruts and holes. Also, hold
the lift lever forward so the full
weight
of
the bucket
is
scraping the ground.
Use
the heel
of
the bucket.
BACKFILLING
DO
THIS!
Approach the pile
with
a flat bucket.
A 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. This method, shown above, will impose
severe shock loadings on the dump linkage, the
bucket cylinder, and the tractor.
