Read articles →An owner-made how-to showing the exact steps to remove and reattach the BH76 backhoe from a Bobcat CT2025, a process the dealer's own service department reportedly couldn't figure out. Covers setting the bucket, placing stabilizers, pulling the hitch pins, disconnecting quick-connect hoses, and backing back onto the cradles. Short and practical; best for CT2025 owners who can't find this procedure documented anywhere else.
Posted by the Tony Kimbrell channel, apparently an owner-operator sharing first-hand experience after working through the process himself with no dealer support.
Set the bucket down at about 90 degrees to form a tripod stand, lower the stabilizers, pull the hitch pins, lift the backhoe out of the cradle, drive forward to release the hoses, then disconnect the quick connect hoses.
Back the tractor up and set it into the cradles on both sides, lower it into the cradles, work the backhoe to line up the top links, and slide the pins back in.
No, the dealership service department did not know how to put the backhoe on and also removed the top link bracket unnecessarily, which had to be put back.
