BACKFILLING
Approach the pile with a flat bucket. See Figure 20.
Poor methods actually move no more dirt and make
it more difficult to hold a level grade.
Figure
20
Do not use the bucket
in
the dumped position for
bulldozing. This method, shown below, will impose
severe shock loadings on the dump linkage, the
bucket cylinder, and the tractor. See Figure
21
.
Leave dirt
in
the bucket because dumping on each
pass wastes time.
Operate at right angles to the ditch. Take as big a bite
as the tractor can handle without lugging down.
Leave dirt which drifts
over
the side of
the
bucket for
final clean-up.
Pile dirt on the high side for easier backfilling
on
a
slope.
