Well some boss's say over the idlers others say over the drive motors, well as long as I'm in the seat it's over the drive motors. I always try to dig the same way that way when something happens You dont have to think which way your heading. Last spring I was working near a job by Kinsley construction they were moving a causway in the susquehanna river in Harrisburg I watched there hoe operator he never knew which way he was digging he would travel and go the wrong way a few times well on day sure enough he did this and flopped a new 330c in the river water in the engine they had to drag it out! One of the reasons I dig over my drive motors is we work hills alot almost all of our new hoes have grauser pads and when your on a hill you want your drive motors down hill!
