Might anyone know of a method to measure the "digging force" of a backhoe bucket? Reason I ask is that my BX24 *seems* to not have as much "umph" as when it was new (about 108 hours ago.) I may be totally wrong, because the dealer checked the pressures and found everything was spot on normal. But I'd still like to get a direct measurement at the business end of the system, so to speak.
The manual says the maximum digging force exerted by the backhoe bucket is 1936 lbs. Thought there might be some ingenious way to actually measure that, similar to how a bathroom scale and a bit of math can allow you to measure the weight of a boat on a trailer.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
