[QUOTE="scsindust, post: 29040, member: 214"] When I show my guys how to do grade, I tell them the flatter the bucket to the ground, the finer the grade and more compact the dirt is. So, when you start have the bucket tilted up on a 45 degree angle to get a rough grade and drag backwards. Always backwards. Then put the bucket down to like 20 degrees and grade it again. Go for a third time with the bucket close to level, but not perfectly level. This will be a better grade and pack the soil better. You'll probably have to keep running over it at different angles to get the whole area smooth. Its hard to type it versus showing someone. [/QUOTE]
