Leveling with a Bucket
Drive the loader to the outer edge of the area to be
leveled. Then, with the lift arm down against the frame,
push the lift/tilt handle (hand controlled loaders), or left
foot pedal (hand & foot controlled loaders), into the
“float” position and roll the bucket forward to place the
bucket cutting edge at a 30 to 45 degree angle to the
surface being leveled. Drive the loader backwards
dragging the dirt and, at the same time, leveling it.
NOTE: The “float” (detent) position for T-bar
controlled loaders is reached by pushing the right
handle all the way forward. For hand & foot
controlled loaders use your toe to push the front of
the left foot pedal all the way down. For dual hand
controlled loaders push the left handle all the way
down. This position opens both work ports to the
reservoir and thus allows the lift arm to “float” while
the bucket follows the ground contour.
