I just got my 3520 and noticed that there is no seatbelt on the 375 backhoe (or I just can't find it), is that normal? I thought backhoes usually came with seatbelts.

No seatbelts on any backhoe i've owned....... but then i generally don't drive around while i'm sitting in the backhoe seat.

Aaah THAT's what I'm doing wrong
OK, I just thought I read here about seatbelts on backhoes. Seems like it would be advisable to have one given the maneuvers that you can perform with it i.e. move the tractor and so on, crab claw, shifting to the side etc. Not to mention the unintended shifting of the tractor. I only noticed a seatbelt wasn't there when I came to NEED to perform one of those maneuvers. I thought better of it.

My smaller backhoe had a swivel seat so belt was on seat, my new backhoe has two seats,the hoe seat is actually out from the rops,so don't know if belt would help. plowking
