May I offer these suggestions: 1) Loosen up the pile first. 2) Back the truck in at a 45 degree angle to the pile, this way you are not making a two 90 degree turns., your track frame will love you and last a lot longer. 3) Keep the truck close, less traveling 4) Start by dumping your first bucket at the cab shield and work to the rear, no empty corners. 5) If the truck body is high, cut a slot for the trucks or make a platform to load from...make it so you are level when you get to the truck. This will make loading easier and faster, you won't be at the limits of the lift.
Got to crawl before you can walk! One of Moma's old sayings. Looked good out there and that's how you learn start slow (rinse and repeat) and muscle memory will kick in and soon you won't even think your body will know. I do have one suggestion (and everyone as done this) as you approach the pile level your bucket ... if your bucket leveler is off adjust it some. Most people learning to use a loader dig a little deeper each time and the pile becomes a hole. I see by the end of he video you have a better grasp where the front of your bucket is in relationship to the ground. Great job and many more.
in my very much younger years I loaded hundreds of loads of big rock in a rock corry with a cat 966 track loaded I would get a bucket full an back up an have the truck back under the bucket as it hard on the track frame always turning not to mention its slow going, can load a lot faster, loading in a pit like you I would go into the bank at a 45 deg angel an back up an that way it was a small short turn to get it into the truck an a whole lot faster
Your doing ok learning. Just stop all that backing. No need for it at all. You can load that truck without the tracks making it all the way around very easily!!!

Back in the 70s I ran a 955L,loved that thing. Great tractor,I could rock that thing!
It is nice to see positive comments here and good tips rather than ridicule and other stupid comments..
Did a good job full buckets and didn't spin the tracks
