I just got a TC18 with FEL and backhoe last week. This machine is awesome! I've been digging out rocks and stumps (good size ones) for the last few days and this tractor takes on everything I throw at it.
But being up here in New England, it's getting time to put her away. I would like to take the backhoe off just in case something goes wrong with my Bolens snowthrower and I need to move snow with the FEL. The manual says to stretch the backhoe all the way out before pulling the pins and disconnecting the hydraulics. With limited garage space, I would still like to keep both the tractor and backhoe indoors. My question is can I fold the backhoe up towards the tractor till the bucket is resting flat on the ground, then disconnect?
