Can the backhoe be operated while seated facing forward on the BX series tractor ? Not for digging, just to reposition it for better balance which I do occasionally on my Ford 3500. Thanks, Rusty

Yes. I routinely use my BH and thumb to grasp things for transport whilst sitting in the seat facing forward. I just turn around enough to operate the control sticks.

Once you flip the seat around into the BH position, several safety switches come into play that will not allow you to depress the HST pedal to reposition. They are designed to kill the engine immediately. With the exception of the safety switches, the BX TLB's work just like there bigger bro's :D
