Steep slippery slope for a dozer and excavator

Steep slippery slope for a dozer and excavator

 

A LGP D6 and a kobelco 170 tracking up the hill after a night of heavy rain

Using the pull method on the excavator at each return of the bucket towards the cab he should rotate his tracks 45 degrees before letting the grip on the bucket go so tracks can dig in just enough to hold his place and not to much to risk a tip over depending on the incline. then when he extends his bucket out for another pull straighten the tracks and repeat the method. this has always worked great for my father and i working in the bush.
