I too have a problem with the backhoe lining up, one pin is nice and easy to take out and the other is in there tighter than a tick, have to beat it with a hammer to even move it. So...I have not taken the BH off for fear of not being able to get it back on. I use the BH for stumping etc and don't want to get into a situation where I can't get it back on, but someday it WILL be taken off so I am very interested in what you find as a solution. I too am looking for some hydro hoses to extend the reach as several posts mentioned that the hoses are too short for comfort when attaching and de-attaching. The pins on the FEL are nice and easy to move and don't think I will have a problem there. Let us know how this turns out. I bought my lil' red with 214 hours on it have put 40 more on it, love this little machine.
