    That's a good question. What would be the measuring points? Center of unit to rear of well, or what?

    Yes it was. I was soaked. The unit slid a little on the landing. I'm definitely not used to these touchy controls. The ones I loaded in the 90's weren't this reactive.

    I just went out and measured. From the end of the track to the end of the deck is 74".

    I'm not used to a 29' well but that's pretty good. Mines 24' and I load a 336 with coupler and big bucket 48" from the rear and it comes out good, I was trying to adjust for your trailer but your machine is lighter so it worked out.

    Here is my notes on a 336 this is with a bucket and coupler so that probably explaines the weight difference.
