lee-technique for your loader to30

ericlb · Jun 26, 2009

ok after seeing your pic's thats what i thought you had, now for a test, the normal way to fill a loader bucket, is; approach the pile to be moved, when at the front, lower the bucket make sure the cutting edge is flat on the ground, but not so hard as to cause the drive tires to lift, it just needs to rest there, then in 1st gear move into the pile, as soon as you feel resistance lift slightly on the bucket, you'll feel the tractor "sink" a little , this loades the drive tires making it harder for them to spin, then start to curl the bucket back as you continue to lift, to get as much material as possible in the bucket, this will take some practice, a full day at least,so dont get discouraged, you have to develop a 'feel' for the machine, let us know how you are progressing, after you can do this fairly well let us know how the machine is working, also dont expect a full bucket every time, you wont be able to get it unless the material is very loose, when i use the loaders at the pit i dont always get a full bucket if im digging on a hard face, and im using 500 horsepower to dig with, hope this helps eric
