◼ On the steep slope side, cut a level
surface along the uphill side of the
trench with the loader.
Pile the soil of the cut downhill.
When digging, pile the spoil of the
trench uphill.
◼ Dig field trenched progressively.
As soon as you finish one trench,
have the workman lay the tiles.
◼ Start the next trench, using the spoil
to fill the previous groove.
When finishing straight walls or bell
holes in sandy soil, use a platform under
the rear tires and stabilizers.
◼ The platform distributes the load
over a larger area and lessens the
possibility of a cave-in.
◼ The platform prevents the tractor
from creeping rearward during hard
digging.
◼ Finish the far wall by crowding out
while forcing the bucket down from
the boom.
◼ Actuate the bucket (curl out) to keep
the bottom of the bucket vertical.
