James davies:both operators are at some disadvantage here neither one can see that well exactly where to start at the top.  They are pretty much guessing. 

 Over all I would say they are doing a reasonable job.  A flagger could be used, but that would be dangerous as hell!

vantagetes:How do these guys not have dirt spewing over the sod rack and apron?

Or not hitting 8th by the bottom of the hill? Also I don't even know why they are bothering to push you could heap a self load by about halfway down lol.

What a smart plan. After the pan is partially loaded by dozer, weight and gravity does the work.

Still, with the big pan doing the braking it has to be a scary ride down that steep hill. A few good men are needed!
