Thank you for sharing. Additionally I flatten and lower the FEL for additional stability when using the backhoe. I get it may be less necessary when straight line trenching.
yeah, I'll do that as well when i can it does help. on this job (working on my shop / garage project) I had the loader over the pad area I had already leveled and compacted so I was trying to minimise disturbing that area. thanks for the comment.
I didn't hear your idle go up after you set your down riggers. To the left of you is a knob that increases your throttle,was it all the way up, it helps a lot on my M62..maybe it's just my speakers and you did do it.. thanks, keep up the great videos. I'd love to see one on the crawling feature our machines have, have you used that yet, where you can walk it forward while trenching.
yeah, it may not come out well in the video but when I got on the tractor I went up to full throttle right a way. I can say that is not the fastest but its dose well on the job
I see yours does the same thing as mine, when you swing boom back to center and stop it bounces left and right a few times before you can drop down.... I guess that's the drawback of us having 14' of boom reach. LOL
yeah, it's a little bouncy because of the big heavy boom and little ground contact but I have had smaller backhoes before and you can't beet the reach of that 14' boom.
We're fortunate with the two pump swing/dig feature we have, Neil mentions is a bit in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VxNAOv8NMvc.html
@@dirtydiggerm62 Sorry but I don't get it. I have a M62 also so I know a bit about the machine. When digging I set the performance by adjusting the throttle lever, when sitting in the digging position it would be on your left side near the crawler lever. You can adjust the power of the machine by adjusting the throttle up or down.
when I had responded to the last message, I didn't happen to know what the max rpm is when full power. since then, I did look and it's at 2700rpm which is the same power setting when I did this video. hopefully that answers the question.
I hate running high RPM's but after research, I run my M62 at around 2000 RPM, word on the forums is that PTO RPM is the best place to run them when doing implement work. For the M62 PTO speed is 540 RPM obtained at 2700 RPM (page 70 of the M62 owners manual).
@@A..n..d..y The BT1400 backhoe manual gives a slight reference to RPM by saying on page 7 the following, "This backhoe can be operated at any engine speed from about 75% of rated rpm to factory rated rpm. The backhoe is most efficient at rated engine speed. However, in special digging conditions, for optimal fuel economy, or in residential neighborhood where noise may be a consideration, the engine speed can be lowered to about 75% of rated rpm." There are also great forum threads on this topic on the orange tractor forum and the tractorbynet forum (can't paste links, youtube deletes comments with links, sorry).
