[QUOTE="Tigerotor77W, post: 346, member: 44"] What 773 said is true. Generally, heavy end up the grade. However, depending on the size of your bucket, material in the bucket, and amount of material in the bucket, especially on a tracked machine, the front may be heavier. In this case, you'd want bucket end first. (Whichever end is heavier.) If you get to the top, however, and decide to lift and dump while still ON the incline (eg you're looking straight ahead but see sky, not Earth), you may tip over backwards if you empty your bucket and lift high enough. Being on a track machine, you have a little more leeway because more weight is up front, but be care... too steep an incline and you'll need the ROPS. Xing [/QUOTE]
