I've spent the past couple weekends starting to clear trees from some fence lines and am very please with the capability of my backhoe (its' a 757C on a TC33D). Now that I've got a whopping 10 hours of lifetime experience with a backhoe, I'm wondering what you guys set the engine rpm at. My manual is real specific: "start at a moderate engine speed and increase as you get better"! I've played around between 1500 and 2500 rpm and haven't seen a huge difference (one could say I'm not fast so its quite possible I don't tax the flow!).
