OPERATION 5145 01/11 Ope ration Section 4-31 © 201 1 Alam o Group Inc. OPERA TION Another method for large dirt piles is to build a ram p approach to the pile. It is important to keep the bucket level when approaching a bank or pile. This will help prevent gouging the work ar ea .
OPERATION 5145 01/11 Ope ration Section 4-32 © 201 1 Alamo Group Inc. OPERA TION PEELING AND SCRAPING Use a slight bucket angle, travel forward and hold lift control forward to st art the cut. Make a short 5 to 8 foot angle cut and break out cleanly .
OPERATION 5145 01/11 Ope ration Section 4-33 © 201 1 Alam o Group Inc.

Back grade occasionally with a loaded bucket to keep working surface free of rut s and holes.
OPERATION 5145 01/11 Ope ration Section 4-34 © 201 1 Alamo Group Inc. OPERA TION BACKFILLING Approach pile wit h a level bucket. Poor methods actually move no more dirt and make it more diff icult to hold a level grade. Do not use bucket in dumped position for bulldozing.
OPERATION 5145 01/11 Ope ration Section 4-35 © 201 1 Alam o Group Inc. OPERA TION Leave dirt in bucket. Dumping o n each pass wastes time. Operate tractor at righ t angles to ditch.
