I, like everyone else, have read the manual. You should NOT backdrag with the bucket edge. To backdrag, use the heel of the bucket.
Also like everyone else, I HAVE backdraged with the edge. And I never had gotten in trouble with the Kubota 1153 FEL. But now I have this Woods 126 FEL. I wasn't actually backdraging. I rolled back down a pile with the bucket dumped. The edge caught the pile and . . . SNAP! Busted the weld completely off, and appears to have bent the rod also.
My question is . . . How often do you backdrag with the edge and has it caused you any problems?
