Noob Tries his hand at Cutting Grade & running his first 4 in 1 bucket -Can he handle it? 4k video

What happens here

The instructor explains the unique challenge of using a 4-in-1 bucket: the cutting edge is often not visible from the operator's seat. Therefore, operating it effectively relies heavily on 'feel'. The operator practices manipulating the bucket to achieve a desired grade, which requires learning a different set of skills compared to a standard bucket.

Goal: Master the nuanced control of the 4-in-1 bucket for grading.
