The blade, referred to as a push blade, or back fill blades should be in front and down, picking up the weight, moving the center of gravity forward, to act opposite the digging force; if that makes sense. The blade is primarily a stabalizer, and secondarily a back fill blade.Okay, I'll be that someone.
Having tried using a BX25D backhoe it quickly became obvious that it weighs way too little to do any meaningful digging with.
At just under 1,000 lbs., the NorTrac is lighter yet. The specs mention lift capacity, but nothing about breakout force etc. There must be a trick to keep these light backhoes on the ground, but what is it?
