Hey everyone, my first post on TBN and unfortunately it is because my backhoe is out of commission.
I have a 2003 Branson 3510i with the 7620 backhoe purchased last summer with 800 hours on it. I was using the backhoe to breakup a tall pile of hardened dirt/clay that's about 8' tall and after dislodging a large chunk of concrete caused a large dirt slide that was high enough to accumulate at the base of the backhoe (the concrete did not make contact tho). After making several runs with the FEL to clear the loose dirt I came back to break it up again but then my left stabilizer arm refused to go down. All of my other hydraulics (FEL and BH) work just fine.
I took it back to the garage and cleaned out a bunch of greasy dirt/clay and small rocks around any and all of the hydraulic lines and it still would not budge. I tried putting some weight on it but didn't want to hit it with a sledge fearing I might do more damage.
I have no knowledge of hydraulics and would greatly appreciate any advice/suggestions.
Thanks ,
Scott
