digging with FEL?

   / digging with FEL? #11  
RhallVA,

I've been moving pine trees to strategic places on my property.

Here is a photo showing that you can dig with a FEL. Believe it or not, this is one scoop!. Don't get me wrong, this doesn't happen every time I move a tree but it did today.

Note, I didn't have a toothbar, but I've ordered one; and am saving the bigger trees for it. Can't wait for that!

"(ever dig with FEL, drive from point A to point B across the field, and dump the bucket only to then see that NO DIRT was is the bucket?.... That's a poor start!) "

I've done that one too many times.

What I learned to do when working with a pile of dirt is raise the loader up, curl it all of the way, then make slices into the dirt pile. That leaves a bunch of loose dirt at the bottom that is easy to scoop up as a full load.
