The set up is as follows; 864G, 18" soliddeal charlie brown pattern tracks(really aggressive) and an 84" combo bucket. While driving down the incline the machine felt nose heavy, however drining up the incline empty intially, it felt fine. This may be because the combo bucket is twice as heavy as a regular construction bucket. Another advantage to the combo that I used in this case, is that when I reached the top I just opened the combo and used the dozer to drive the spoiles at the top. So I did not haver to raise bucket at any time, it always stayed low. Then backing down was a cinch because I had my worn tracks in the dirt that you coud feel with the machine as you went back down. I must also add that everybody I have talked to has said my methods are unorthodox.</p></blockquote><p></p>
