[QUOTE="jklingel, post: 36899, member: 1409"] Try spreading it as you drive forward. Tip the bucket, and as soon as dirt starts to drop out, move forward, tap the "down" control so a little more falls, etc. You will find (unless the crap is nasty and clumps up) that you can do a half-butted job that way. When I first back blade, I keep the bucket at a pretty sharp angle just so I DON'T put pressure on the dirt, for the reason you stated. And go slowly when it is rough; at least I do, 'cause I ain't super fast in the reaction department. I only put pressure on the dirt during the last few passes. Peat is not a lot of fun to spread, as it can get lots of clumps in it if the shredder is not doing its thing, and that makes blading a PITA. [/QUOTE]
