Figure what out?

I'm curious why so many people think this is so important?
I was looking hard at the 110 and a lot of people told me how the creep to position is so nice, however, I consider that a non issue as every backhoe I've used has creep to position.... (I ended up deciding against the 110)
Simply raise the outriggers and pull/push your way with the hoe. I can't see why the special creep feature is so much better?
I'm interested in how it works because I've been skeptical about 'great' features in the past, like hydraulic scarifiers on a box blade, and now that I have one, I would NEVER go back to life without it :laughing: So of course I could be wrong about the creep feature.
I've never used the creep the feature (or a 110) so I'm saying this based on opinion which of course is just about worthless
How the creep to repo worked on the new 45/4720's.
And it is a very useful feature. Sometimes you can't dig into the surface (say digging a trench on a lawn) or can move long distances facing backwards. I don't have a 110 yet, but will soon.

Couple of things, first all of us that have operated backhoes have used the hoe to move the machine while digging a trench but the addition of creep to reposition allows you to move further similar to using the front seat. Also for drilling post holes with the hoe mounted auger it makes positioning easy since you don't have the bucket on to move with. Another example is you can pick up a stump with the thumb and then move it out of the way without leaviing the backhoe seat.

The example with using the hoe mounted auger is an excellent point and certainly seems like it would be helpful. Like I said before I never thought I would need hydraulic scarifiers but the time it saves it certainly noticeable. I imagine the creep feature is similar, I just couldn't think of when it would be noticeably better but that is why I asked
