Which positioning of the loader bucket when finish grading enables fine adjustments to the cut and fill?

Positioning the loader bucket flat or nearly flat when finish grading is essential for enabling fine adjustments to the cut and fill. This orientation allows for a smooth, even surface that is necessary when making precise adjustments to the grade. When the bucket is flat, it effectively distributes the weight and pressure across the surface, preventing the creation of indentations or uneven areas that could occur with other bucket positions.

A completely tilted bucket may result in the sides of the bucket skimming or digging into the ground unevenly, making it difficult to achieve the fine precision required for grading tasks. Similarly, a slightly tipped bucket can alter the depth of the cut in an uneven manner which is not ideal for finish grading. A completely raised bucket primarily allows for lifting material rather than providing the controlled distribution needed for fine grading tasks. Thus, using a flat or nearly flat bucket is the most effective method for achieving a level and uniform surface during the grading process.
