I wanted some dozers there but they didn't show
We just used a flat shovel and a tamper to level things out. By Sunday all the benches were in good shape.
We did get fined by MSHA for not having a berm on the haul road
Just look at the video of Scott's Tonka dump almost going over the edge
Yes, the bucket worked excellent. That bend did the trick. I had no problem scratching up a full bucket load. I was even able to dig with the back of the bucket up slightly with tight hoist chains like it's supposed to do.
