I did test that a little yesterday with a pile of brush.
I took it high & did a few jerks to see if I could ollie.

Also- start logging hrs & maintenance in a notebook now. You'll quickly lose track otherwise even though you're positive you'll remember. Make it a habit and be religious about it, if you do that thing will last longer than you do.
My first "holy shit" moment was when I had a bucket full of gravel. I was almost on 2 wheels when I dropped the bucket.
You also have to be careful with a grapple when picking up downed trees with a rootball still attached. The uneven weight distribution can wrack the loader arms easier than one might think. The arms are stout up and down but not laterally.
Lotta great advice.
The physics of it will have to be learned thru experience, then you get much better at anticipating the problems that physics will present for different jobs.
I only ran very old(Kubota) or basic new tractors though, never had my hands on something like what
@sparkuri has. Possibilities are endless.

What you think of the backhoe, Sparkuri?
It's fun. I'm getting use to it being an extension/2nd nature.
Yesterday I used it to fill up my tree boxes.
I used the dirt from this stump.
nice
still happy with it?
I am, bit have not used it at length yet, mainly for landscaping at the moment.
I still haven't figured out how to get my 3-point linkage attached after taking off the backhoe.
I might be missing some pins...
Can't find a single video on it, everything is about a quick hitch which I also have and need to attach.
If you are missing pins you can pick them up at tractor supply pretty cheap. Just make sure you get the right category. I would reach out to the dealership, they should be able to walk you through it.
