I have owned a BX2200 for four years, and about to trade up to a BX23. There must be some place on the web that has training on the fundamentals of bh operation, but I haven't found it. Yeah, I know just diggin in th dirt is fun, but I thought a little primer b4 I start my project (or inadvertantly dig a hole to China) would be the best place to start.

Suggestions?

Read up here and go do it. They are not overly complex, practice and more practice are all that's needed. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

There is a book I bought on backhoe & loader operating off Barnes & Noble or Amazon that is pretty good

look on TBN (here) and just use it. You can read all about it till you are blue in the back, but nothing is like really using one.

just as Av8r2230 stated.

Read on TBN about it and start using it.
Be careful about safely positioning your tractor and start at a lower RPM so the BH moves slower. In a short time you will start to feel comfortable, and in no time you'll start to get proficient at it. I had a dentist appointment around the time I first got the BX23, and I told the dentist I was getting some jaw soreness at night. He told me that some people tighten down on their jaw muscles when doing something that requires a lot of concentration, like operating a backhoe. He didn't know I had the Kubota /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif. He was right, I paid attention to it the next time I was on the BH, and I was.
Be careful & have fun.

Thanks VWBill, I found a CD of that on eBay and spent the last 2 hours trying to find a download instead, to no avail till I read your reply. I have dozens of hours on mine and am very confident using it but enjoy reading such things also.
Here's a link to a pdf download
Cheers!

The one thing you want to know is never, ever, move a backhoe without lowering the stabilizers first.

When I first got my 580C, I took it out to dig a few holes and didn't know this detail. The tractor tipped over as soon as I extended the hoe.

That was very exciting.

There are several industrial training manuals out there. Go to your local public library to see what they might have. Even if they don't have one they should be willing to get one by Inter Library Loan. I got one that way and found it very informative even for just loader work. The manual that came wiTh my loader had the same information, even the illustrations looked the same.
