Neat trick using loader as a box scraper!

   / Neat trick using loader as a box scraper! #62  
I back bladded like crazy for 4 years with my Kubota BX. Often the front wheels were lifted off the ground and I'd be hitting hard bumps. Not a problem. I've never seen anything in my manual advising against it. Perhaps it is bad for the bigger machines because of their weight and power.


Definitely worse for bigger machines. Just the down force from occasional back blading is not a big problem. Hitting bumps is another matter. Forces can be multiplied 2x or 3x just by hitting a rock or root, and could bend something or stress the hydraulics. I imagine the smaller the tractor, the stronger the loader and hydraulics in relation to the weight.

Duffster, I think he meant like in a holding type force.

Like trying to push a rope.
