CAT 972M Yard work and stockpiling

[@maineman11]

So in one pile you scoop from the front, but on the other pile you circle around to the back to grab your scoop. Why go around to the back of the pile, when it would be quicker to just scoop from the front?

@@maineman11 You wanna work the whole side of the pile so the material can blend together better. There are very large particles of sand and very fine particles and fall differently when piled up so wanna keep a good ratio. Also looking for dry material so I need the sun to dry some off while I load from another side.

@@Krutan_the_Loader_Man I know what you're saying, as I use to load trucks with a 1983 John Deere 844. But I'm not sure you understood my question. Or maybe I phrased it wrong. Either or, I'm enjoying the videos so far!
