The NorthStar Trencherman Backhoe is not designed to lift solid objects. The backhoe will remove rocks that are in the soil but is designed only to be used with light soil. The capacity of the bucket is 1500 cubic inch. The information does not offer a weight capacity.

Question

How difficult is it to move?

I need to do some digging around the edge of a pond. Once in place, I will only be digging for a short time before having to move six or eight feet along the edge. Can it be dragged by hand (two people) or do I have to hook it back up to a trailer hitch again?
