General Operating Instructions
By now you should have familiarized yourself with the
Operator’s Manual for your CB0550 4-in-1 Combination
Bucket. If you haven’t, please do so now. We cannot
overstress the importance of following the safety
information and operating procedures that are spelled
out in this Operator’s Manual.
Proceed by getting onto the seat of your tractor and
starting it up. It isn’t going to take you long to learn how to
use your new Land Pride 4-in-1 Combination Bucket, but
we do recommend that you take a little time to practice
securely attaching and detaching your bucket to and from
your mounting plate. It is also important to practice lifting,
lowering, tilting, maneuvering, and releasing a load until
you gain the confidence and skill needed to have a good
feel in what you are doing.
The 4-in-1 Combination Bucket’s primary purposes are
digging, loading, dumping, scraping, leveling, gripping,
and dozing. The following are some basic general
operating instructions. For detailed instructions, see
“Combination Bucket Operation”
Start digging by lowering the bucket down to the ground
and tilting the front cutting edge down to dig into the
ground. Start traveling forward making adjustments to
the bucket tilt and loader arm height to achieve desired
results.
To dig while backing up, open the jaw, tilt the top of the
hitch plate forward, and lower the loader arms down until
the jaw’s cutting edge is on the ground. Start traveling
backward to fill the jaw with material and close the jaw to
capture the product in the bucket.
With bucket full, transport to your unloading site while
carrying the load low. Carefully place the load over the
dump site and dump the load by tilting the front bucket
down or by opening the jaw to release the load out the
bottom of the clamshell.
To scrape a surface clean and level, open the jaw, tilt the
top of the hitch plate forward, and lower the loader arms
until the jaw’s cutting edge is on the ground. Begin
backing up and adjusting hitch plate tilt to achieve
desired scraping action. Lower or raise loader arms to
achieve desired cutting depth. You can close the jaw
when you want to capture and remove unwanted scraped
material.
To pick up unwanted bulky material, open the jaw, tilt the
top of the hitch plate forward, and lower the clamshell
opening over the material. Close the jaw and pick-up the
load. Carry the load low to your discharge site. Carefully
place the load over the site and dump the load by
opening the jaw.
To use the dozer blade, open the jaw, lower the dozer
blade to ground, and tilt top of hitch plate to angle the
blade for digging. Start traveling forward pushing the
material. Raise or lower the loader arms to adjust depth
of cut and adjust hitch plate tilt as needed to achieve
desired cutting action. You can close the jaw when you
want to capture and remove unwanted material.
With a little practice you should become very good at
consistently achieving the desired results you expect with
your Land Pride 4-in-1 Combination Bucket.
