I just purchased a used kubota bh76 backhoe for my b3300su. It does not have the normal hydraulic connections that can only be connected one way, instead it uses the remotes. When I first saw this setup, I liked it as that would be one less task when I attach the subframe. But now that I’ve had more time to think… I’m concerned about connecting / running the hydraulics backwards.
With my hydraulic 3P post hole digger, it’s designed to go in reverse… I do not know if the same can be said about the backhoe. Since the OEM connection is designed to be connected one way only… it implies the hydraulic flow should be one way too.
Assuming the hydraulics are connected backwards, how could I tell it was connected backwards? Is it as simple as the controls run backwards? What damage could be done? How quickly would damage occur? Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your advise.
