Operation 17
MAN0556 (9/21/2007)
Figure 20. Bucket Tilted too Far
Backfilling
1. Approach the pile with a flat bucket, Figure 21.
Figure 21. Backfilling Correctly
2. Do not use the bucket in the dump position for
bulldozing. This method will impose severe shock
loadings on the dump linkage, the bucket cylinder,
and the tractor, Figure 22.
Figure 22. Incorrect Bucket Position for Backfilling
3. Leave dirt in the bucket because dumping on each
pass wastes time.
4. Operate at right angles to the ditch. Take as big a
bite as the tractor can handle without lugging
down.
5. Leave dirt that drifts over the side of the bucket for
final clean-up.
6. Pile dirt on the high side for easier backfilling on a
slope.

BALES AND OTHER OBJECTS:
• Do not carry hay bales, logs, fence posts,
stones, or any other loose objects that can roll,

FORKLIFT OPERATION
To avoid injury or death from bale rolling back
down loader, do not handle round bales with the
pallet fork.
To help prevent tractor/loader instability, never
exceed the capacity of the tractor/loader used with
the pallet fork. To increase stability, adjust tires to
maximum possible width.
Use the pallet fork to move pallets, bulk bins, crates,
boxes and hampers.
Do not use for shiftable loads such as logs or poles.
Do not use for digging rocks or lifting concrete slabs.
