The BX-22 instructions for backhoe removal specify curling the bucket fully, and lowering the boom to slightly raise the back end of the tractor. The back of the bucket supposedly rests on the ground, but actually when I do this the load is taken by the link connection at the end of the hydraulic cylinder, which seems like it may apply a bending force to the piston rod. I usually keep the bucket somewhat un-curled to prevent this. Has anyone else noticed this? Also, when raising the boom to disconnect the upper connections, the instructions say to hold the top position for 5 seconds. to complete the process Huh? My backhoe begins to roll off the connections as I raise the boom, and is a foot away by the time I reach the top position. Is this just poor instructions. I am refering to the sticker on the backhoe. I haven't looked at the manual for a while. I do the removal on a reasonably level concrete floor.
