I don't really know since I have not used a backhoe with it...Thanks Teg. The PTO was supposed to be off but I will double check. What about the use of the backhoe? Do I have 2 seconds also to tilt the seat?
Does the backhoe run off of hydraulic remotes at the back of the tractor OR is the backhoe powered from a pump attached to the PTO? If it runs off a set of hydraulic remotes, the seat doesn't come into play. If it has the PTO pump, then yes, you have to tilt the seat forward.
I have a chipper and it's tuff to remember the first dozen or so times that it happens. Let us know if the pto was "off" and/or the safety switch needed adjusting. :thumbsup:
