LOADER TECHNIQUES
By placing the multi-purpose bucket in the scraper position and opening the clam slightly, spreading
of material can be done on the "run". The amount of spread can be controlled by the amount of
clam opening (Fig. 4.60).

5. With the clam fully open, the multi-purpose bucket can be used to bulldoze material. Position
the bucket as shown in Fig. 4.61 for level grading. Position the bucket as shown in Fig. 4.62 for
spreading or to obtain a lesser cut.

6. Improper use of the multi-purpose bucket.
Much unnecessary damage can be done to multi-purpose buckets by subjecting them to uses for
which they were not designed. The following illustrates some of the ways a multi-purpose bucket
should NOT be used.
DO NOT use roll back force to pull stumps or buried objects from the ground – it may bend the
clam (Fig. 4.63).
