    Well, here is a question within your question. This refers to an old thread here....Are you at half throttle or full throttle?

    What ever you prefer, if you work better at half or full.

    Oh no please dont start the half or full throttle question...this thread will mushroom to 10 pages!

    whats the biggest volume buckets do you use?

    And how long is your string? There are a variety of factors that come into it, size of bucket, where it is being loaded/shifted to, etc. With my 900mm mud bucket on the KX41 I can shift a lot, about 250kg a go or round about 5 tonne every 10 minutes into a truck, sitting on the side of the heap.
