5. Lower attachment so that it rests securely on the ground.

6. Tilt the mounting plate forward and back the skid steer away from the attachment at the same time.

Filling the Bucket

KV13936

There are two basic methods of filling a bucket from a pile - Arc Penetration and Step Penetration. Judge the type of penetration needed for loading and vary the methods to suit the materials.

Arc Penetration

With the arc penetration method, the bucket is forced into the pile and rolled back while raised in a continuous upward arc until the bucket is filled. When activating both the lift and bucket hydraulic circuits at the same time, the lift or roll-back system may occasionally stall. When this happens, disengage either the lift or roll-back function to allow maximum hydraulic force to one set of the cylinders.

Step Penetration

KV13937

With the step penetration method, the bucket is forced into the pile at ground level with the bucket bottom horizontal to the ground. Force the bucket into the pile as far as possible during the initial thrust. Raise the bucket about a foot and then force it further into the pile. Repeat this cycle as many times as necessary to fill the bucket.

NOTE: If the engine pulls down as the skid steer is engaging a load, the directional controls are being held too far in the direction of travel. Maximum torque is obtained at minimum ground speed.

Digging

When digging with the skid steer, remove a thin layer with each pass. This method is efficient and minimizes wheel slippage. When encountering firmly packed materials, flutter the bucket control valve to assist penetration. Teeth can be installed on the bucket to provide better penetration.

Returning the Bucket to the Loading Position

Immediately after the bucket has been fully dumped, begin the roll-back cycle as the machine is backed away from the dump site. Repositioning the bucket for the filling cycle while the boom is lowering is a good time saver. Fine adjustments in bucket position can be made as the skid steer begins forward on the filling cycle, thereby saving a period of dead time between the dumping and filling cycles.

Bulldozing with the Bucket


IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! · Do not push against objects with the boom fully raised or damage to the boom or boom cylinders may occur. · Do not push forward with the bucket fully dumped as the bucket cylinders may be damaged.

The skid steer can be used for bulldozing by controlling the tilt of the bucket.

The skid steer can be used for leveling by placing the bucket in the dump position and backdragging loose soil. The tilt of the bucket will control the amount of soil that is transported.

Place the boom control valve spool in the detent (float) position to allow the bucket to follow the ground contour and deposit soil in the low areas.

Dislodging the Machine

In most cases, when a machine becomes bogged down, the bucket can be used to push the skid steer to more solid ground:

· Raise the boom and tilt the bucket forward so that the cutting edge contacts the ground.

· Curl the bucket and lower the boom (maintain contact with the ground) while pulling evenly rearward on the control levers.

· Repeat this cycle as many times as necessary to move the machine to solid ground.

Transporting Loaded Bucket

Never transport a loaded bucket at full height. Keep the bucket as low to the ground as possible for better stability.

When backing out and transporting a load, raise the bucket just high enough to clear obstacles in your path. Raising a loaded bucket too high reduces stability.


IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Backup carefully. An operator must always look to each side and to the rear for co-workers before backing up. An operator must continuously be aware of all co-works and other equipment on the worksite.

Worksite Layout

For an efficient operation, arrange the job to minimize the time required to perform the work cycle.

When selecting the dump site, consider wind direction and ground slope. Whenever possible, position the dump site so that the wind will carry dust away from the operator.

Before the work cycle begins, clear worksite of unauthorized personnel. Take a few minutes to level off the work area if it is not smooth.

Minimize transport distances for a fast work cycle.

Transporting Skid Steer on a Trailer


IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Never put chains across the boom or bucket cylinders. Damage to the cylinders may occur. Do not tow skid steer or transmission damage may occur.

Use a heavy-duty trailer to transport your machine.

When loading machine onto a truck or trailer, keep the boom and/or attachment down. Back skid steer onto a trailer. Before exiting the skid steer, lower the attachment to the trailer bed, engage the park brake switch and shut off the engine.

KV14262, KV14263

Picture Note: Bucket removed for photo clarity

Fasten machine to trailer with heavy-duty straps, chains, or cables using tie down (A) in front, and (B) in the rear. Both front and rear straps must be directed down and outward from machine. Trailer must have signs and lights required by law.

Craning the Skid Steer

A kit is required to crane the skid steer. See your Authorized John Deere Skid Steer Dealer to order kit. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.
