What happens here

Once the bucket is full, smoothly rotate the excavator's arm away from the trench and over to the designated spoil area. Carefully open the bucket to deposit the excavated soil into a spoil pile on the right side of the trench. Immediately after dumping, the operator demonstrates using the bucket in a sweeping or grading motion to spread and level the freshly deposited material, creating a more uniform spoil pile. This cycle of digging, dumping, and shaping is repeated to continue the trenching operation.

Goal: Manage excavated material and refine the work area
