Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A backhoe has a bucket capacity of 4.0 m³ and operates with a fill factor of 0.9. If the angle of swing is 100 degrees, what correction factor would you apply if the optimum height of cut is 5m and the actual cut height is 3m?

💡 Hint: Review the concept of correction factors related to height and swing.

Question 2

You have a scenario where two trucks are used with a backhoe. One truck has an exchange time of 15 minutes, and another has 10 minutes. How does this variance affect total productive time?

💡 Hint: Think about the impact of waiting and efficiency in management.
