Loading from backhoe into dumper

[bigdgaff]

Just started playing and bought an articulated dumper (DA40) to collect soil to sell from digging contracts like the pond one.

I have found that the starter backhoe cannot quite reach high enough to unload the bucket into the dumper without spilling most of it on the floor as it gets to the right height to swing over the dumper lip. As I raise the arm to the maximum height, the bucket tips slightly too far to contain the soil any more.

After finishing the contract, I had managed to get about 800 money-euro-pound-cents worth of soil actually into the dumper, lol.

Is there a trick to doing this or does the starter backhoe simply not have the reach to do this effectively?

Do the same as you would do in real life: build up a dirt bench and get your backhoe on top.
