I have a B4672A 'hoe on my B7610. My stabilizers drop after awhile as you goys are describing. The attached pix shows how I keep 'em up. Two formed ruber bungee cords hooked together and connected on the ends through fliped over pads. Allows me to drive alongside the shop without requiring a repair and paint job on the walls.
I have not found any loss of power in the backhoe. The boom does drop though and I use the loop and pin to hold it up too.
