What happens here

When operating an excavator, always be extremely cautious when retracting the bucket. Even with standard configurations, an oversized bucket or one carrying a full load of debris can potentially collide with the cab. Experienced operators must maintain constant awareness of their machine's specific dimensions, the size of their attachments, and the volume of material being carried to prevent the bucket from hitting the cab. A small miscalculation or distraction can lead to significant damage to the machine and potential injury to the operator. Some configurations of arm and bucket (e.g., those with extended arms) are more prone to this issue.

Goal: Safely retract the excavator bucket to avoid collision with the cab or other parts of the machine
