I've been enjoying my new backhoe yesterday evening and today - digging trenches and (hopefully) sealing a pond leak. It seems to be very sturdy and does a real job digging. I only had to remove one stump - about 10" diameter - in soft muck. The tree had been cut nearly a year and it popped right out.
I do have one question. The manual says there is a storage hole on the backhoe frame for the swing lock pin when it isn't being used to lock the boom. Are they telling the truth? It may be staring me in the face, but I can't find it anywhere.
One more day of backhoe work and I'll find out how hard it is to remove from the tractor. As much fun as the backhoe is, I'm anxious to try the new tractor out on some other jobs.
