  • Page 74: Lifting The Load

    OPERATION A level bucket throughout the lifting cycle resists bucket lift and increases breakaway effort. NOTE: Do not be concerned if the bucket is not completely filled during each pass. Maximum productivity is determined by the amount of material loaded in a given period of time. Time is lost if two or more attempts are made to fill the bucket on each pass.

  • Page 75: Carrying The Load

    OPERATION CARRYING THE LOAD Position bucket just below tractor hood for maximum stability and visibility, whether bucket is loaded or empty. Use extreme care when operating loader on a slope, keep bucket as low as possible. This keeps center of gravity low and will provide maximum stability.

  • Page 76: Dumping The Bucket

    OPERATION DUMPING THE BUCKET Lift bucket high enough to clear side of vehicle. Move tractor in as close as possible to side of vehicle, then dump bucket. LOWERING THE BUCKET After bucket is dumped, back away from vehicle while lowering and rolling back bucket. 5211 01/11 Operation Section 4-28 ©...

  • Page 77: Operating With Float Control

    OPERATION OPERATING WITH FLOAT CONTROL During hard surface operation, keep bucket level and put lift control in float position to permit bucket to float on working surface. If hydraulic down pressure is exerted on bucket, it will wear faster than normal. Float will also prevent mixing of surface material with stockpile material.

  • Page 78: Loading From A Bank

    OPERATION LOADING FROM A BANK Choose a forward gear that provides sufficient ground speed for loading. Exercise caution when undercutting high banks. Dirt slides can be dangerous. Load from as low as possible for maximum efficiency. Loader lift and breakaway capacity diminish as loading height is increased.
  • Page 79 OPERATION Another method for large dirt piles is to build a ramp approach to the pile. It is important to keep the bucket level when approaching a bank or pile. This will help prevent gouging the work area. 5211 01/11 Operation Section 4-31 ©...

  • Page 80: Peeling And Scraping

    OPERATION PEELING AND SCRAPING Use a slight bucket angle, travel forward and hold lift control forward to start the cut. Make a short 5 to 8 foot angle cut and break out cleanly. With bucket level, start a cut at notch approximately 2 inches deep.

  • Page 81: Loading Low Trucks Or Spreaders From A Pile

    OPERATION LOADING LOW TRUCKS OR SPREADERS FROM A PILE For faster loading, minimize angle of turn and length of run between pile and spreader. Back grade occasionally with a loaded bucket to keep working surface free of ruts and holes. Also, hold lift control forward so full weight of bucket is scraping ground.
  • Page 82 OPERATION BACKFILLING Approach pile with a level bucket. Poor methods actually move no more dirt and make it more difficult to hold a level grade. Do not use bucket in dumped position for bulldozing. This method, shown above, will impose severe shock loadings on dump linkage, bucket cylinder and tractor.
  • Page 83 OPERATION Leave dirt in bucket. Dumping on each pass wastes time. Operate tractor at right angles to ditch. Take as big a bite as tractor can handle without lugging down. 5211 01/11 Operation Section 4-35 © 2011 Alamo Group Inc.

  • Page 84: Handling Large Heavy Objects

    Leave dirt which drifts over side of bucket for final cleanup. Pile dirt on high side for easier backfilling on a slope. HANDLING LARGE HEAVY OBJECTS 1. Using front end loaders for handling large heavy objects such as large round or rectangular bales, logs and oil drums is not recommended.

  • Page 85: Operating Bale Spear

    8.2 Operating Bale Spear Operate the bale spear using extreme caution. Sharp points on bale spear can cause serious injury or death. Because of size and weight of large bales, extreme care must be taken in handling them. Be aware of forces acting on stacked bales due to gravity and keep workers far from zones of potential hazard from shifting or falling bales.

  • Page 86: Shutting Down The Implement

    Carry bales as low to the ground as possible to allow maximum visibility and avoid tipping. 8.3 Shutting Down the Implement Park the tractor on a level surface, place the transmission in park or neutral and apply the parking brake, lower the attached implement to the ground, shut down the engine, remove the key, and wait for all motion to come to a complete stop before exiting the tractor.
