Backfilling - Kubota LA463 Operator's Manual

16 OPERATING THE LOADER

BACKFILLING

Approach the pile with the bucket flat.
Poor operating methods will move less dirt and make it
more difficult to hold a level grade.
A Do not use the bucket in the dumped position for
bulldozing. As shown above, this method will impose
severe shock loads on the dump-linkage, the bucket
cylinders, and the tractor.
Leave dirt in the bucket because dumping on each pass
wastes time.
Operate at right angles to the ditch. Taking as big a bite
as the tractor can handle.
Leave dirt which drifts over the side of the bucket for final
cleanup.
Pile dirt on the high side for easier backfilling on a slope.
