About levers - just for the record, on a Ford 4600 backhoe, the lever
to empty the bucket is right next to the lever to lower the arm. If
you're filling a wheelbarrow, this difference is critical.


Yes they are....tis what I ran... Those are fast backhoes.
I won a bet on that once for my boss. He and another guy who owned a
company were arguing about which was better, his Case, or my bosses
Fords. They marked off 100' and had us line up and race....I beat his
slow-assed Case by better than 30'. That old Ford may not have had the
grunt-down pulling power of the Case, but it was way faster. There were
extremely few situations where that bit of extra power would have made a
difference.


On a side note, a wheelbarrow cannot hold up the digging end of
a backhoe.


Hehe...
