OK, so to dump, it drops some part of the load on itself - on the slanted roof but also on the cables.
In shocked - shocked I say - that this is not how all loaders work today...
I'm guessing the overshot loader is NOT to be used for manure piles.
And tossing it over a chain-link fence no less. We're doomed.Quote:

Same thing happens with a skid loader. Pick up a full bucket. Lift it high and fail to level the bucket. The extra ends up in your lap. Hopefully you are loading wood chips, not #2 stone or worse.
Same thing can happen with a wheelbarrow, remember that one...
Ah, the genius of throwing the water over and not through the fence thus reducing splashback!
