    Bucket as anchor point...

    Thank you very much !! I also lay a 400mm water level to the rear of/across the rear/backhoe handling levers - to help get the machine - and the subsequent trench - nice and square - from left to right with the help of the stabilizers/outriggers.

    Doing some waterline trenching in hardish rocky soil. Using the loader bucket as the front anchor point - which is the best way: the level digging position or curled forward with the lower blade teeth penetrating the ground (1 cubic metre multipurpose bucket) Thank you very much !!

    Radial tires

    Have OEM Michelin tyres on a new 315 SK JD. Front recommended pressure in owner manual is 54psi/3.7 Bar - which sounds a lot to me. Size = 340/80-18 or 12.8/80-18. But maximum sidewall pressure states 35psi/250kPa/2.5 Bar (for both front and rear tyres) Which prsessure to use please? Thanks !!

    Hello from Namibia..

    Hi from Namibia. Currently shopping for a TLB - visited all local dealers for CAT, JCB, Komatsu, Cukorova and LiuGong. CASE represented in South Africa - but not Namibia. Either new or decent pre-owned - but last item very rare. Thus following the TLB section with interest and enjoy reading there.
