Tony actually runs the BH150 backhoe in solid clay, shares practical positioning tips, and gives candid ergonomic critiques, notably the cramped backhoe seat for taller operators. Also covers the TYM/Branson nameplate transition. Best for buyers weighing the 2515 against similar-sized machines.
An owner-operator channel documenting a homestead build, so expect hands-on impressions rather than a sales pitch, though the long-term review series means this video is only the starting point.
The BH150 is rated at about 7.5 feet deep, almost identical to the T474 backhoe, and comes with a 16 inch bucket.
No, the seat is entirely too close together, cramping the legs. A five foot ten operator could barely fit an ankle through the gap.
Position the tractor so your pivot point is directly over the line you want to dig. Coming in at an angle will make the trench angle too.
The reviewer says the hydraulic flow rate from the tractor to the backhoe is really good, with no complaints and good quality valves.
