Curious about my L2501 DT. I was working on a creek bank on the back side of my property a couple of weeks ago. Preparing to put a piece of corrugated pipe for a crossing. Small creek. I could just drop four railroad ties and it would work. The bank was getting slippery and when backing up and dragging the bucket to smooth off the bank on the near side. It would really start slipping badly as the rear barrs started clogging up. I would raise the bucket and then drop it and push back to help get me unstuck. Front wheels were starting to sink in so curling would push me back enough. Now for the question. Would it do any good to stomp on the lever that locks the wheels for backing up through a messy area? I've only used it going forward never in reverse. I was wondering if that would help in reverse or will it cause havoc in the transmission? Thanks.
