What happens here

As the bulk material (gravel) begins to flow from the dump truck, the compact track loader operator should deftly maneuver the skid steer's bucket to scoop the material. Position the bucket directly against the end of the dump truck's bed, effectively creating a funnel or chute that guides the gravel directly into the bucket. Keep the bucket low and level, making subtle adjustments to its height and angle using the skid steer's controls to maximize the amount of material scooped and prevent any from spilling over the sides or falling beneath the bucket.

Goal: Transfer gravel efficiently into the skid steer's bucket without spillage.
