Hi, First time poster here!
I have rented full size backhoes before, and when I became proficient, I was able to do two things at once i.e. curl the bucket and bring in the arm, or uncurl the bucket while rotating the hoe.

I would like to know if any of the small tractors can do that...BX24, B7510, or B7800. I had a short demo of the BX24 at the local dealer, and it seemed to not be able to do it.

Maybe an aftermark BH could do it?

Thank you,
Tracy

Bigger units often have mutiple pumps and diverters to do what you are asking. You won't find that until you get to units like the L-39 Kubota being the smallest that I know of. With some practice and knowing the equipment many operators have been able to learn the limitations of the machines they are operating and been able to make the machines perform like there bigger pro brothers. ....

That's a hard offer to beat Tracy! You will find that to feather the levers you can get them to do two things at once although you are operating at lower power limits and speed then by only opening one valve. Units like the L-39 have a seperate pump moving just the boom of the heavier tractors, the other valves are still on the one line so it is a basically a matter of being used to the machine. ....
