The owner reports minimal issues besides a leaking seal (which he attributes to loader work without enough rear ballast, a point he's seen echoed across brands) and answers a viewer question by demonstrating, hands-on, how to disconnect the backhoe attachment step by step. Best for existing owners doing their own backhoe maintenance or researching long-term reliability.
Posted by the tom yeahright channel, an owner sharing real-world, long-term impressions and maintenance tips from his own tractor use.
The owner says it's typical of four wheel drive tractors doing a lot of loader work without enough ballast in the back end, an issue he's seen echoed with John Deere, Kubota and other brands.
Put outriggers down, extend the dipper and apply pressure to loosen the pins, drop the boom so the section rotates back onto the pins, then raise it off with the outriggers and drive forward.
No, it does not. Only the backhoe attachment hooks on and is held by pins that go through, while the undercarriage stays in place.
Shut off the tractor and drop all hydraulic pressure from both the bucket and backhoe, then connect the two hoses together so the lift arms will work when reconnected.
