What happens here
Using the compact track loader, spread the structural fill soil in thin layers, or "lifts," across the hillside. Due to the extreme steepness of the slope, traditional external compactors are impractical. Therefore, the weight and repeated passes of the compact track loader itself are used to achieve the necessary compaction. This process involves driving the machine over the fresh layers of soil multiple times to eliminate air pockets and increase soil density, effectively "marrying" the new soil to the existing bank. The operator must navigate the steep incline carefully, often moving diagonally or directly up and down, to distribute and compact the soil effectively.
Goal: Create a dense, stable, and appropriately graded new slope.
Tools and materials
- Bucket Attachment — Scooping and distributing soil
- Hearing Protection — Protecting ears from machinery noise
- Safety Glasses — Eye protection from dust and debris
- Water — Moistening soil to aid in compaction, especially if the soil is too dry
