What kind of pads are on the rear out riggers? That makes a lot of difference in how much force you can apply to whatever tool you are using. If you are sliding, you are very possibly not working correctly. I have run some very large tracked hoes. If you WANT to, you can make even the largest hoe slide on the tracks.
On any hoe too much down pressure on the bucket unloads the outriggers and allows them to slide. Skilled operators often do not even lift the riggers when they advance the hoe. Push down on the bucket to unload the riggers, use the bucket to push the machine. Set it back down and continue to work.
The angle of attack on the cutting edge of the bucket is very important. Think of is as a axe. When you cut wood, you hit the wood with the sharp edge not the side. If you hit the dirt with the bucket angled correctly, it will cut much easier than having either too much or too little an angle. When you are digging, work the bucket into the ground, adjust the cutting angle then LIFT as you pull to fill it. Lifting the bucket adds pressure to the outriggers. Stop pulling when the bucket is full and empty it.
It takes practice, but even the smallest hoe will do a lot more work for a skilled operator than a a new one. It just takes time and practice.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
