[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 28829, member: 307"] I haul forwards sometime depending on what attachment goes with it. It depends on what I need to do to get the right weight on the tongue and on the trailer. If you happen to have really heavy attachment on the front, my backhoe when I had a 753 and the 84“ power rake I have now, then you are better to drive on facing forward. Its all about keeping things balanced. You always keep the heavy end up hill. Which end is the heavy one does change from end to end sometimes though. But if you have no attachment on the front the 700 series bobcat won't even think about climbing the ramps. You could let all the air out of the front tires and they won't go flat. There just is not any weight on the front axel. My LS 160 will drive on forward with no attachment if your careful. But the 773 with steel tracks and 600 lbs of foam in the tires won't. And I have a fairly low trailer too. Ken [/QUOTE]
