Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

If a loader has a bucket capacity of 3.5 m³ and a fill factor of 80%, what is the actual load volume in m³?

💡 Hint: Multiply the bucket capacity by the fill factor.

Challenge 2 Hard

A wheel loader has a tipping load of 10,000 kg. If the operator loads it with 5,000 kg, what is the remaining permitted weight before it's over the tipping load?

💡 Hint: Subtract the current load from the tipping load.
