just looking for feedback on what different factors cause duck walking and if anybody knows any good techniques to deal with it?
I spent forty years in heavy and highway industry and never heard of duck walking. In the midwest of USA we always called it hop or bounce. Dpete and Shanes advice is spot on. Nige; you should see some of the idiots that I have seen in the cut and on the fill with the cushion hitch up. It is enough to bring tears to your eyes. There are ways to cure them of doing it, if you know what I mean Changing tire pressure can sometimes make a difference in the severity of the duck-walk.Not sure, but im gonna guess that he's meaning the hop/bounce that they do at speed, like on the haul road.
I recall way back when cushion hitches were first introduced. To the old-school scraper operators it was a sign of the world going soft.
what scraper do you run?
