I'd like to tap into those experienced operators on this site and get some pointers. I have about 350 hours logged in on my Kubota 6.5 ton excavator (so I'm relatively new at this gig). I've also cut about .75 miles of trail with some wide enough for a 4x4 truck to use and some cutting through heavy trees, brush and on steep hillsides. I seem to have great difficulty cutting the correct slope--sloping the road toward the uphill side to prevent water damage in heavy rain. I'll need to go back and finish cut all of the work that I have done thus far in order to get the correct slope.
I'm curious about the tips and techniques that experienced operators use in order to cut a correct slope toward the hill. Input would be appreciated. As you can see in this pic the road is slightly sloped toward the downside of the hill. It seems as though I can't cut it right the first time.
Thanks. Allan
