It covers two specific BX23S backhoe habits: folding the seat instead of spinning it for quick repositioning, and using the bucket dump motion to push the spoil pile back rather than stopping to reposition it. Best for new BX23S owners still learning efficient backhoe technique.
An owner-operator hobby homesteader sharing lessons learned through hands-on use of their own BX23S on a 38-acre property.
Instead of turning the seat around, fold it down and sit on the back of it to dig, then fold it back up to drive forward and fold it down again.
Put the full bucket of dirt right in the middle of the waste pile each time, so the dump feature pushes the existing pile further away as you dump.
It is quicker and easier than turning the seat around, especially when not spending much time in the seat or when working on a steep bank.
