Worksite Layout

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

Before the work cycle begins, walk the worksite to uncover any hazards, and clear worksite of unauthorized personnel. Take a few minutes to level off the work area if not smooth.

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.

Minimize transport distances for a fast work cycle.

Operating Tips

Do not knock down stakes or grade markers which aid in identifying surface and slope changes.

Use proper equipment to best suit terrain and debris being worked with.

Loose, fragmented material will dump quickly from the bucket. To break up material as it enters bucket and avoid sticking, excavate in thin layers.

If cleaning bucket by hitting against stops, use minimum amount of force to avoid cylinder damage. If rapping bucket lightly does not work, clean bucket by hand. Do not attempt to clean bucket by striking against the ground or another object.

Transporting Loaded Bucket

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

Reducing speed when driving over rough terrain, carrying a heavy load, or working in a congested area will increase your ability to control the machine. Avoid rough terrain, rocks, curbs, and ditches whenever possible.

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.

When backhoe (if installed) is not being used, backhoe boom must be locked in fully raised and centered position. Curl bucket and retract dipperstick.

Proper Work Angles

T104818

Work perpendicular to stockpile to prevent highest part of pile from collapsing onto machine.

T104819

Work perpendicular to excavation to prevent cave-ins. Do not operate near the edge of an excavation or trench.

Operating on a Slope

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! To prevent machine rollover, do not turn while operating on slopes.

T104820

Drive straight up or down slopes with loader near the ground, and backhoe (if installed) in locked, centered, and dipperstick retracted position with bucket curled.

Keep bucket high enough above the ground and curled back slightly to prevent digging into the ground.

Reduce drive speed to prevent bouncing.

Filling the Bucket

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.

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! To prevent possible injury from falling material, remove overhangs from top of banks or stockpile before starting excavation.

Arc Penetration

Arc penetration is best suited for loose or light materials.

MX15044

With the arc penetration method, the bucket is forced into the pile and rolled back, then 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 the loader. When this happens, disengage either the lift or roll-back function to allow maximum hydraulic force to one set of the cylinders. If stalling happens frequently, use the step penetration method.

Step Penetration

MX15045

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.

Digging

When digging, remove a thin layer with each pass. This method is efficient and minimizes wheel slippage. When encountering firmly packed materials, quickly move the dual SCV handle side to side (bucket tilt and roll back) to assist penetration. Teeth can be installed on the bucket to provide better penetration.

Returning Bucket to 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 machine begins forward on the filling cycle, thereby saving a period of dead time between the dumping and filling cycles.

Bulldozing with Bucket

T104832

The machine can be used for bulldozing by controlling the tilt of the bucket. With the bucket close to the ground, remove as little material as possible from top surface. Let material spill from bucket to fill in low spots.

Backdragging with Bucket

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Backup carefully. An operator must always look to each side and to the rear for bystanders before backing up. An operator must continuously be aware of all bystanders and other equipment at the worksite.

T135174

The machine can be used for leveling by placing the bucket in the dump position and back dragging 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.

Backfilling

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! To avoid an overturn when backfilling. Do not position machine at an angle to excavation. To ensure best possible traction and stability, work perpendicular to excavation.

Backfilling an Excavation

T104836

As an excavation is filled nearly to grade, begin to compact material by slowly moving front wheels onto fill material while gradually emptying loader bucket. Front wheels will compact loose material which will support machine as it moves further onto filled area.

Backfilling Next to a Building

When backfilling next to a building, push load as close as possible with loader bucket, then backdrag to pull excess material away.

Truck Loading

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Backup carefully. An operator must always look to each side and to the rear for bystanders before backing up. An operator must continuously be aware of all bystanders and other equipment at the worksite.

Level and smooth loading area before loading trucks to increase machine stability.

When backhoe (if installed) is not being used, backhoe boom must be locked in fully raised and centered position. Curl bucket and retract dipperstick.

Ensure working area is clear of all persons, including truck driver, before loading truck.

Park truck close to stockpile to reduce travel time.

If possible, load truck on driver's side for easy communication with driver.

Whenever possible, position truck so that the wind will carry dust away from the operator.

T104837

Follow an angled path between truck and stockpile.

Raise loader while moving toward truck and lower while moving away from truck to reduce load time.

T104838

Load truck from center front to center rear. Do not position loader over truck cab.

Dump load into truck at a steady pace (rather than abruptly) to minimize stress on truck.

If loading large rock, first place a load of smaller rock onto truck to cushion impact of large rock.

Benching

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Backup carefully. An operator must always look to each side and to the rear for bystanders before backing up. An operator must continuously be aware of all bystanders and other equipment at the worksite.

Start benching on a level surface. If necessary, use backhoe bucket (if installed) to create a level starting point.

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Prevent collapsing soil bank. Do not undercut soil bank with bucket.

1. With bucket positioned at a slightly downward angle, lower bucket into ground and drive forward.

T7208BA

2. Create a windrow of spoil material to build the bench.

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Prevent rollover. Do not drop leading front tire past windrow edge. Do not work parallel to road edge to compact material.

NOTE: Keep material in bucket while moving forward to fill low spots on bench.

T7208BB

3. Push windrow at a 45extend bench.

4. Compact windrow spoil with leading front tire only.

T7208BD

5. Make a final grading pass to straighten uphill bank and level bench.

Dislodging the Machine

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

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

2. Lower the boom and curl the bucket (maintain contact with the ground) while pressing on the reverse drive pedal.

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

Ballasting Machine

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Ballasted machine may become unstable when implement is raised. Always drive slowly over uneven ground with raised implement.

Ballasting this machine should not be done with backhoe installed. It is recommended that if ballast is needed, a ballast box totalling 567 kg (1250 lb), or a 567 kg (1250 lb) box scraper be mounted to the 3-point hitch.

Using Optional Rear Ballast Box

The rear ballast box is used for carrying ballast on the 3-point hitch. The ballast box may be weighted up to 567 kg (1250 lb).

Tire Capacities

Verify maximum tire inflation pressure and maximum load information embossed into the tire side wall.

Using Liquid Weight in Tires

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Installing liquid ballast requires special equipment and training. Injury may occur from exploding tire. Have the job done by your John Deere dealer or a tire service store.

NOTE: Use of alcohol as ballast is not recommended. Calcium chloride solution is heavier and more economical.

A solution of water and calcium chloride provides safe economical ballast, and will prevent freezing. If used properly, it will not damage tires, tubes, or rims.

A mixture of 0.4 kg of calcium chloride per liter of water (3.5 lb/gal), will not freeze solid above -45° C (-50° F).

Fill tires at least to valve stem level (minimum 75% full). Less solution would expose part of rim, possibly causing corrosion.

Using Tire Sealant

Front Tires

1. Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)

2. Use TY16236 tire sealant for tires without calcium chloride to fill front tires.

3. Follow instructions with tire sealant to fill the front tires.

4. When complete the tires must not be harder than if inflated with air to 345 kPa (50 psi).

Rear Tires

1. Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)

2. Use either TY15833 tire sealant for tires without calcium chloride or TY6378 tire sealant for tires with calcium chloride to fill rear tires.

3. Follow instructions with tire sealant to fill the rear tires.

4. When complete the tires must not be harder than if inflated with air to 110 kPa (16 psi).

Transporting Machine on Trailer

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into trailer or truck. Close fuel shutoff valve, if your machine is equipped.

NOTE: Check state and local regulations for tow vehicle and trailering requirements before transporting the Tractor Loader Backhoe. A trailer with a minimum 4536kg (10,000 lb) gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and an appropriate tow vehicle are required to transport the machine. Carrying additional equipment on the trailer will increase the GVWR requirement.

1. Drive machine forward onto trailer or truck.
