Spread and Level Crusher Run Gravel

What happens here

Operate the John Deere 250 skid steer to load large quantities of crusher run gravel into its front-end bucket. Each scoop can weigh between 1400 to 1800 pounds. Drive the skid steer along the path, then carefully tilt the bucket to deposit the gravel. Following the initial deposit, adjust the bucket's angle and height to effectively spread the gravel, functioning much like a grading rake. Perform multiple passes, moving the skid steer forwards and backward, to ensure the gravel is distributed evenly and the path surface achieves a consistent, smooth grade. Pay attention to maintaining the desired contour and elevation of the path, eliminating any high or low spots.

Goal: This core step involves using the skid steer's bucket to load, transport, and then meticulously spread and level the crusher run gravel across the path, acting as a grading rake.
