Edit. I found the answer on page 75 of the backhoe manual that came with the tractor. I should have done that first instead of youtube. Sorry for taking up space on the forum. Happy Easter.
I have been doing some backhoe work with my BX23S and I have a couple of questions.
With the loader bucket level, if I try to lower it all the way down, the front of the tractor does not lift off the ground. You can see it takes some of the pressure off the front wheels, but the hydraulic cylinders fully retract before the front wheels lift. I can tilt the bucket down like I am dumping and the front tires will lift off the ground.
So, my questions are, when you are using the backhoe, do you need to lift the wheels off the ground using the loader and stabilizers on the backhoe, or are you basically just using the loader and stabilizers for extra stabilization while the wheels are on the ground?
If I need to lift the front wheels, what is the proper bucket position to do so?
I now have 22 hours on the tractor and been having a lot of fun. Should have bought a tractor years ago.
