Backhoe Backhoe on Jinma 224

[RedCompact]

I posted this concern before, but then my laptop had to go away for a repair so I didn't get to see any discussion. So here it goes again...I put a backhoe implement on my Jinma & it seems back heavy to me when I drive around. Has anyone else used these & what precautions did you have to take when manuevering around terrain? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

You do have a front end loader on the tractor don't you? A backhoe is a very heavy piece of equipment and you will feel it some.

We have a backhoe on our 204. While moving logs in the FEL recently my nephew liked having the weight on the back for ballast. I don't drive the tractor much, just pay the loan! I've also seen him have a back wheel off the ground. Just be careful and plan how you're going to turn and go up and down hills.
