The host walks through the exact setup steps, transmission in neutral, outriggers raised just enough, teeth stabbed in, and flags the real safety risks on slopes. A short, practical how-to that new BX backhoe owners will find immediately useful.

Put the transmission in neutral without the parking brake, stab the bucket teeth into the ground, raise the outriggers and front bucket slightly, then push the boom up and dipper out to roll the tractor forward.
The video warns there is danger involved, especially on hills, because the tractor can lose traction with the bucket teeth and roll away if you go too far.
The outriggers are left slightly raised so they catch the tractor if it tips from side to side during the move.
