EXCAVATING ON SLOPES
When digging on slopes always face the backhoe upgrade whenever possible. It
may be necessary to cut a level surface in the hill for the backhoe to sit in when operating on
slopes. This will allow the backhoe to sit level for digging the main excavation. Pile the spoil
from the surface downhill. When digging the main excavation, pile the spoil uphill.
