That is exactly what I do with my LS MT125 TLB. I just push myself forward using the front steering wheels to guide me.Raise the bucket and the outriggers slightly so they clear the ground.
Old School: Set the bucket teeth in the ground, and use the backhoe controls to move the machine along the trench path.
New School: Buy a tractor with a "Crawl Control" (A lever that engages the tractor's transmission from the BH operator's seat.)
