    Correct Loading Techniques

    Guys, I got another answer concerning the second question. Someone whom I spoke with about this said it depends on your material as well. He said when he loads sand or gravel he will use the bottom method but when he loads rocks and stone he will use either of the two top methods to protect the...

    Correct Loading Techniques

    I suppose then the correct answer for the first question is: The method that fills up the bucket the quickest. I think it is difficult to make it set in stone when experience will guide you. I was just wondering what/how you will teach a new rookie operator. On the second question I fthought...

    Mistake in the manual???

    Mistake in the manual???

    Ok, I understood incorrectly what they said in the manual. So... If the tandems start to spin or slide side-ways you articulate the driving force (center) of the tandems directly towards the heel. The way they put it in the manual was just a bit confusing to me... I can "see" it now! Thanks!!!

    Mistake in the manual???
