[QUOTE="Txwalt, post: 660532, member: 5970"] I used to operate heavy construction equipment in the army. One of the things they drilled into us was to keep the bucket down as much as possible. Especially when turning. For the most part the only time the bucket was in the air was when we were dumping the load in the dump truck or loading something on the trailer. I know there are exceptions to the rule and this is not a dig at calman at all. I just saw an oppertunity to express my view with this topic. I see it all the time. People backing and turning with the bucket way up in the air. Very very dangerous. If possible back up. Lower the bucket then make your turn. When you get there, come to a stop and raise your bucket and unload. Repeat. This is the second accident in a short amount of time on the boards related to the bucket being way up in the air. I'll jump down off my high horse now and hope atleast someone takes this advice. Safety first. Walt [/QUOTE]
