ABSTRACT:
A method for temporarily covering a large land area and an apparatus for suspending a flexible cover from a front loader bucket of an earth-moving vehicle. One example of the apparatus includes a cross member having a mid-portion connected by extension arms to the bucket. Tubular enclosures on the bucket receive the free ends of the extension arms for cantilever support thereof. The method of covering the land area includes releasably attaching opposed ends of the flexible cover to the cross member and moving the vehicle to a first location of the land area. The bucket is lowered and a first end of the cover is released. The bucket is raised and the vehicle is moved to a second location so as to spread the cover over increasingly larger portions of the land area. The second end of the cover is thereafter released so that the cover is laid out over the land area. The steps of the method are reversed to remove the cover from the land area. The method and apparatus have particular application for use with sanitary landfill sites.
