What happens here

After manually dislodging as much material as possible, move to the operator's seat of the heavy machinery (likely a mini skid steer or compact track loader). Safely start the machine. Engage the hydraulic controls to rapidly raise and lower the bucket in quick, repetitive motions. This shaking and vibrating action will help dislodge any remaining stubborn debris, such as smaller rocks, dirt clumps, or grass, that are still stuck to the bucket's surfaces. Continue shaking until the bucket appears clean.

Goal: Shake out remaining stubborn debris from the bucket.
