Grading in a Wet Ditch
1.
Articulate the machine so the front wheels and the
blade are in the ditch. Steer with the front wheels.
2.
Keep the rear wheels on the shoulder to prevent
wheel slippage in wet or soft material in the ditch.
NOTE: This method may be used to avoid obstructions
whenever cleaning old ditches, which may have tree
overhangs, rock ledges, etc.
