Gen3_ITC - Attachments - Buckets (Breaking through the Heap)

Notes
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:
  1. the boom is fully retracted.
  2. the boom is extended to less than 1 meter
  3. is at an angle of less than 10 degrees 
This can happen when breaking through the heap and under those conditions, the Gen3 cutout is disabled. Within this region the load capacity is unlimited, allowing full operation of the bucket.
