BH Question on my CK20HST

[KenGod]

When I'm digging with my BH it pulls and lifts the ck all over. WE have tons of river rock everywhere so this will always go on for me.
I have found it convenient to push the ck forward by using the BH when I'm digging a long trench, lift the rear wheel off the ground and extend the bh and I'm ready for another 5' or so of trenching.

Is this bad for the tractor? I do it only in 2wd so the front wheels free spin, and it sure does this with ease. came across the possible bad habit when I started digging and did it accidentally a few times and thought this so so much faster then driving the ck forward every 5'

Thanks for input

I think you will be OK.
I push my tractor ahead the same way when digging a long ditch with my DK 35.
Haven't broken anything yet !!

I assume you are not using the parking brake. I always leave all four tires on the ground and set the parking brake to keep the tractor from moving. Although, that backhoe is so strong I sometimes have to strap it to my truck to keep it from moving.

Well all my friends have a running joke since we moved, They all tell me I hit Rock bottom and there right we have a large stream on the property and a Hole lota river rock. I cant get one bucket of dirt with at least one bowling ball sized rock in it. So Im never gonna get the beast still for me while I dig.
