Read articles →This short video is about a 3-point dirt/pond shovel implement rather than the tractor's loader or bucket, despite the title. It covers mounting the shovel forwards or backwards, using the two lift-arm pin hole positions for extra height, a rope-release mechanism from the seat, and a note that small tractors like the BX2360 need front weights for ballast without a loader. Useful mainly for owners considering this specific implement.

Yes, if you use a pond shovel on a small tractor without a loader, you need weights on the front to keep the front end down.
