3.6 LEVELLING AND
BACKFILLING
1.
To spread material on uneven ground, raise lift
arms and tilt bucket forward while driving
slowly forward (Fig. 3.6).
2.
To level a filled area, tilt bucket forward and
drive machine backwards to drag bucket and
spread material (Fig. 3.6A).

Another method of levelling is to travel forward
with bucket down and level, full of material and
pushing excess into low areas. Depth is
controlled by tilting the bucket slightly up or
down. (Fig. 3.6B).
