Gen3_ITC - Attachments - Buckets (Breaking through the Heap)
Breaking through the heap can lift the rear wheels off the ground
When using earth moving buckets, most machines are allowed to temporarily exceed
the capacity rating and lift the rear wheels off the ground.
This is allowable when:
- the boom is fully retracted.
- the boom is extended to less than 1 meter
- is at an angle of less than 10
degrees
This can happen when breaking through the heap and under those conditions, the Gen-3 cutout is disabled. Within this region the load capacity is unlimited, allowing full operation of the bucket.
