I have a question for you guys. How often do you have to deal with your water trap on your backhoes? How often do you have to drain that crap out? I have to do it every week when I fuel up and it's really annoying to constantly have to do that. Does anyone have a 580B, C, D or E or had them and can you tell me what you did with that. Even people with Kubota L35's. I'm confused on why we have to do this so often but cars and trucks don't have this problem. My boss said that we have to keep the fuel tank full to minimize the condensation affet therefore causing clogs in the water trap and backing up ino the filter. The reason I ask is we had to replace the filters AGAIN in our backhoe in such a short amount of time. Thanks for the help.

P.S. Also, people who have backhoes with latches, more than likely those that have the larger backhoes, how much play is there in your hoe. Ours has a some what large gap allowing the hoe to juggle a lot. Someone either slamed the how back to hard when locking it or they don't use the hydraulics to keep the hoe from moving so much when is second gear on bumpy roads. We had to fix it because one hook was broken off, the other close. So....If there's supposed to be little play but enough that it won't snap due to all the preasure it would be good to know so we can fix that.
Thanks again!
