OPERA

ION

BACKFILLING

Approach pile with a level bucket.

Poor methods actually move no more dirt and make
it more difficult to hold a level grade.

Do not use bucket in dumped position for
bulldozing. This method, shown above, will impose
severe shock loadings on dump linkage, bucket
cylinder and tractor.
