Backhoe for 2538

[CincyFlyer]

Wow, sounds like it should do a lot more than I need then. The biggest I am planning to remove it probably in the 10" range. I would like to just cut down what I want gone then go back and remove the stumps when there is more room. I keep watching the youtube videos of a kubota tlb like a bx25 and amazed at what a small machine can do given the time and this one should do a good bit more. One thing I can figure out is the one cylinder for the dipper, most of the others have 2 shorter cylinders and not one long one. With it extended that long do you thing there is a chance of it bending something?

Heck, if your trees are that small, you may be able to simply push 'em over with the FEL bucket. I've done this to quite a few trees (and there are a few topics on that kind of stuff), then hooked up the chains to remove the stump. Very large ones, I've been using the backhoe (I have a 2540), but I'm getting tired of that, so I'm using a Woodland Mills stump grinder to turn them to chips.

it is part of the backhoe itself and not the tractor. You will have to ask the dealer for whatever model fits the 2538. Float just allow the boom to move in automatically. Pell's Massey Ferguson Compact Backhoe’s - YouTube

the video doesnt show how it works for digging but it shows the concept. it works real nice when digging.

That was a good video.
I always figure float is whenever something is that is under float, it's level is under the force of gravity alone.
