I have had some success in pulling dirt from one place to another. I am real nervous that backing with it might bend the 3PH arms.
There are numerous posts on T-B-N from others cautioning against over-stressing lower link arms in reverse. After all, lower links are designed to pull, not push. I have replaced Kubota CHECK CHAINS/TURNBUCKLES with rigid stabilizers from Stabilworks, which reinforce the lower links in reverse as well simplifying mounting of implements to the 3-Pt. hitch.
I am still cautious, but I now regularly push LOOSE dirt with the box blade. See photo. LOOSE DIRT!
