Read articles →An owner-shot, step-by-step walkthrough of physically removing the backhoe from a Kioti CS2520S. The key insight covered is the pin-release sweet spot, you have to find a neutral boom position rather than applying full up or down pressure, and the video follows the complete sequence: positioning the implement, pulling the pins, pivoting the assembly off, depressurizing the hydraulics, and capping the three lines. Most useful to CS2520S owners doing this solo for the first time.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on experience from their own property, with no apparent commercial affiliation.
Set the feet, boom, and dipper flat, find the neutral boom position to loosen the pins, pull the pins, raise the boom to lift and pivot the backhoe off, then depressurize and cap the three hydraulic lines.
Pushing full pressure up or down retightens the pins. You have to find a neutral point between the two, moving the boom back and forth with patience until the pins loosen.
After shutting off the tractor, cycle the loader valve in all directions to run out and release all the pressure before disconnecting the lines.
