For when you get going - try to keep the bottom plate of the bucket parallel to the grade you want to dig. I.e. don't use the bucket tilt to dig - use the boom and adjust tilt to get the grade you want. Goes so much faster. Also dig down by slicing several times when trenching instead of going to full depth at once. And if the dirt is wet - never fill the bucket all the way. The dirt stays put due to suction and you will have a quite hard time. Please ask me how often I have done that before I learnt :-)

If you are lifting the rear wheels off the ground when trying to pull a tree root... back off because it CAN rip the bucket in half or cause other damage. It has the power... not the fluid flow rate for doing 2 things at once. Some people ugrade from the appx 1.6 cc pump to a 4.1 cc pump (fits with minor modification to the coupler and 2 pipe adapters) DO NOT increase the pressure setting of the relief valve as some videos tell people to do. It can already bend the cylinders at the factory setting. Increasing pressure will not speed it up.

Does anyone know if they make a thumb for this be it mechanical or hydraulic. The other question I have is how much will the boom lift when keeping it close in other words could you lift up 8 ft long logs to hold it up so you can cut them with a chainsaw off the ground. I'm guessing it would need to be hooked to a truck as a counterweight

You probably will want to run your furthest hydraulic lines through the boom so they aren't dangling around. Also the button thumb claw is a nice add on if your trying to grab onto things. kzitem.info/news/bejne/u5uLn6qNkIl4hH4 Had some issues with mine but still did the job of removing bamboo that I was quoted $18,000 for the landscaping project.
