Backhoe KB2485 Backhoe - Can't raise Tractor off the ground

[Jesse masterson]

I have a rhino 95 c and it will pick up the rear end but I don't do it because I feel it pits unnecessary wear on the cylinders, I do however when digging a ditch put it in neutral and raise riggers and push hoe forward to move tractor rather than get off every time to move it. About every third move I get off to move it because tractor steering usualy need straightend

I have a Rhino 85 backhoe on a DK 35 with loaded rears.
It will struggle to lift the rears off the ground if the front loader bucket is in the air.
It will not lift the rears off the ground if the front loader bucket is on the ground.

I am about to purchase a Kioti NX4510 Cab HST. Some great knowledge here. Rather than fill the tires, my dealer has convinced me to go with wheel weights that can be removed when the backhoe is in play. Any thoughts from you experienced folks regarding weights vs filling tires?

Are you considering wheel weights cuz you often operate the tractor without the hoe? I leave my hoe on all the time, and I love the ballast it provides (about 1200#). My FEL really needs at least an additional 1000# of ballast to work anywhere near its capacity.

Another ballast strategy you might consider to allow maximum use of your loader is to add weight to your favorite 3-point implement. I like a hitch receiver mounted to a box blade to which you can add weights.
