It covers unpin sequence, transport pin removal, applying hydraulic down pressure, relieving line pressure before disconnecting hydraulics, capping lines, and reversing the process to remount. Practical tips like zip-tying the top link and reconnecting the three-point flow circuit are included. Most useful for new 1025 owners tackling this job for the first time.

Unpin the three-point arms and top link, start the tractor to apply down pressure, remove the transport pin, relieve pressure on the two main pins, lift the stabilizer arms to clear the cradle, then drive forward slowly.
If you do not relieve the pressure first, the hydraulic lines will be very hard to hook back up when reattaching the backhoe.
Disconnect them like an air compressor hose and always cap all the lines so no dirt gets inside.
Reverse the process: hook up hydraulics, raise the backhoe onto the cradle, push the boom forward to line up the pins, insert pins and lynch pins, then reattach the three-point arms and zip-tie the top link.
