I know there aren't too many backhoe users here, but if there are any I'd like to know what kind of issues you have and what tips you might offer. I have a 2006 DK45 Cab (Cassette player? Really? Come on) and Loader along with a 2385 Backhoe attachment.
The thing with the backhoe is that is a royal PITA to attach and detach from the tractor chassis. In order to get the subframe loose I have to chain it to a tree and drive forward to pop it off. Getting it back on means much fiddling with height, using the outrigger legs and bucket to lift it, and eventually resorting to the come along to pull it into position.
By the time it's hooked up I'm worn out.
The connection areas are dry as in no grease. Would it help to grease? Any help greatly appreciated.
