How NOT to break your loader while back dragging

This isn't about a specific tractor model but a technique tip: Neil from Messick's demonstrates the correct bucket angle for back dragging with a loader, explaining why over-extending hydraulic cylinders weakens them and can bend a rod if you hit a buried rock or stump. He shows the wrong way versus right way on a simulated dirt pile. Useful for any loader owner doing dirt work, not tied to one brand.
