Slowly back tractor away from stack.
LOADING FROM A STACK, BUNKER SILO OR PIT
SILO
Choose a forward gear that provides sufficient ground
speed for loading.
Touch pile as near as possible to top with bucket
positioned in dump attitude and grapple fork open. Close
grapple fork while maneuvering bucket to grasp loose
material.
CAUTION: Loader lift and break-away
capacity diminish as loader height is
increased. Care must be taken not to grasp
more material than your loader can safely
support.
An alternative method is to use your loader and grapple
fork to knock material down from top of pile so it can be
loaded from ground.
Exercise caution when undercutting a high pile.
Avalanching material can be dangerous.
When loading material from ground, keep a level bucket
and use lift control float position. If hydraulic down
pressure is exerted on a bucket, it will wear faster than
normal. Keep bucket level when approaching pile.
Keeping a level bucket and using loader float will reduce
surface gouging and mixing surface material with
stockpile material.
When a sufficient amount of material has accumulated in
front of bucket, close grapple fork to grasp material and
curl bucket.
