Hence I come into picture,..... The site is very cramped and the only place to put the spoils is in the front of the property. It was originally dug with a Cat 963B track loader. He had a ramp into hole and the spoil mound coming out of the hole that was 25' tall not including 10' down into foundation. I must also add that the spoils mound is very narrow at he top. I have been told that the proper way to bring a fully loaded bobcat out of the hole is ass first, turn dump spoils, turn again and drive nose first back into hole. I must add that the initial drive into hole was to say the least very interesting! Has something to do with the comfort factor. I loaded bucket and drove the machine straight up incline, dumped spoils at the top and backed back down. No fuss, no muss, however is this wrong? Feels better with gravity at your back.</p></blockquote><p></p>
