[QUOTE="mllud, post: 18559, member: 1012"] Tom My soil here in Missouri is clay after I get dowm about 6 inches.I cut similar to what you describe with the bucket down to get started. Once I have an edge to work from then I can cut in slabs and I keep working from the edge until Ive covered the area I want. I have a 7000 pound machine with a tooth bar. As im cutting I wiggle the bucket a little too help break it up. Your tooth bar will help a lot in what your doing. I have spent a lot more time twisting bolts in my life than digging. Im no expert.You are doing what you have to with the size and weight of your loader.Your using the power of your hydraulics and leverage instead ot wheel traction to push. Im sure there are a lot of different dances for each situation. The main thing is that you are getting the job done. Mike [/QUOTE]
