Nope not yet. Funny thing is I got my Bobcat survey, maybe if I call the dealer and tell him I have that in hand my remotes will suddenly appear!!!

diggin up any dirt yet?
Yep... Aint done nothin but a HOLE lotta diggin since I got it on there! Does a much better job than I thought it would. The last 2 tree's I bought (pre backhoe) took me about an hour apiece just to dig. I can now get that same size hole in about 2 minutes -- NO SWEAT! Just gotta get more tree's bought now. I'll get a few pics posted once I get her cleaned off again. On another note the only weakness I have noticed is the function that raises the full backhoe arm out of the hole. While it is easy to make adjustments in the way you are digging to remedy this, I'd be curious to know if yours does the same. Both the dipperstick and the bucket movement seem much more powerful than the mechanism that raises it completely. I'm going to attemp a stump removal on Tues. I'll keep you posted on how she does.. Good luck on getting those remotes!

Tinman. You can have it completely off the tractor in about 3 minutes. BUT.. Then you have to reinstall your 3 point arms and hitch. I would think with a little practice you could have the whole process down to 8 to 10 minutes off, and 8 to 10 minutes on. Not quite as easy as a 3 point item but also not as big of a chore as one might think with a frame mounted item. Release is pulling out 2 pins, lowering the outriggers and pulling forward, then disconnecting your hydro lines. Attaching is the opposite. Here in a few months I'll give you my personal best. Ha! Hey now that you've owned that thing for a bit are you feeling a bit better about the power?

You have to remove the 3 point to use the bobcat backhoe?

Derek thanks for the input on the hoe, as far as the power or lack there of I hate to say im getting used to what the machine wants to do instead of me wanting it to do certain things. I still say it lacks power and mostly because I feel its geared to high or tires are to big and that the hydraulics take away to much power at times.
I was working a job right next to a guy who has commerical equipmient and has been in the business for 30+yrs and he came over and watched me and for the most part was laughing when it stalled a couple of times me trying to finish a small drive way for a guy, box blading and limestone lay down. when I would go to scoop up a full bucket of 2b it stalled, very frustrating to say the least. So like i said if im in no hurry I can get around the lack of power at times.
Dealer is coming to get it Monday so I said to him please check it out and see if its normal or not. I sure hope he finds a problem to be honest.
