Read articles →This is an official instructional video, not a review or field test. A New Holland sales trainer walks through pre-operation inspection and names every backhoe component (dipper stick, boom, stabilizers, swing cylinder, boom lock), then demonstrates step-by-step how to reverse the seat for backhoe operation and back for tractor use. No digging, no performance numbers, no pricing. Best for new WorkMaster 25S owners learning basic controls and setup before first use.
Produced by New Holland Agriculture as an official how-to, presented by a company sales trainer, so it's instructional rather than an independent or hands-on review.
Shut off engine, engage park brake, adjust seat fully forward, pull swivel lock handle and rotate 90 degrees, push seat rearward, then pull seat swivel tab and rotate seat counterclockwise to face rear.
Visually inspect for obstructions and low tire pressure, ensure the ROPS is upright and locked, confirm the bucket, parking stands, loader, and hydraulic hoses are securely attached and pinned.
The stabilizer cylinder controls deployment of the stabilizers, which secure the machine in position during operation, with the stabilizer foot engaging the working surface.
The boom lock is used when the backhoe is placed in the locked position for transport.
