I have a buddy who just bought a John Deere 3120 with a backhoe. I was at his place and he showed me how the down riggers don't extend very far therefor barely lifting the rear tires off the ground. It looks like the majority of the weight is off the ground but I was wondering if this is pretty common for backhoe attachments?
I'm looking at possibly getting a Woods BH90-X for my MX5000 and wondering how it will do with my machine. Anyone with some pictures or video's of theirs would be great to see.
One other question, which is the best way to situate the front bucket/loader when using the backhoe? Bucket curled all the way upside down or bucket flat on the ground? How high is it recommended to get the front end off the ground or is it just enough to take the stress off?
These might be elementary questions but we are a couple of newbies to the backhoes.
Thanks
