The bx 23 is my first tractor and have a question using the backhoe. It seems that you have to do one operation at a time. If I try to raise the boom and extend the dipper stick at the same time it doesn't move in unison. I have to raise it then extend it. I can extend and move the bucket together. It makes it a lot slower using it. I'm also not sure how high the engine should rev. I think the manual says 75% of rated rpm. Since there is no tach how do you know. Thanks for any advice.
