In responding to "frank1213" questions, I forgot to mention, that I pulled into one of the hoses going to the outriggers apart a few weeks ago. While changing the hose, I found that Massey used two 4ft hoses to each outrigger and used zipties to control the lenght of the hoses. This is where the problem lies. While transporting the backhoe or for any other reason that it remains on the tractor for any amount of time, these zipties are subjected to the regular vibrations off the tractor. This in time could cause the zipties to slide, causing the hose to be to short when you try to lower the outrigger, causing the hose to pull into. When I changed the hose, I did not use zipties, just rerouted the hose. I also clipped the zipties from the other side to eliminate any future problems. Obviously, Massey did not put this backhoe through a rigorous test session, prior to shipment, or these problems would have or should have been corrected, prior to shipment.
