Too bad Keith Lynch didn't run one, it would be nice to see what a Deere 420 crawler would do out the back door.

When the chute comes out, does the backhoe piston work to lessen the shock?

A sure sign someone is not running flat out is they are moving buckets,thats better than brakes,

What angle should the bucket be @ on a heads up run?

Ballast is as easy as scooping it up or dumping it.

Did everyone see the rule WHRA put in effect starting this weekend? for those who don't know bucket must remain in non scooping position when exiting track and going to scales

My BP diesel always passed fuel check the Valero (here in E Ky.alot of BP's are now Valero)fuel is supposed to be the same but it did'nt pass last weekend.I heard the off road diesel was more consistent on passing,but to not store it in your farm tank.
