I would like to know what kind of restriction there would be. Would leaks cause heating up? I could see something being in the line as far as a restriction goes, but I would expect the filter to catch that before it ever circulates back to the backhoe? I suppose I could depress the balls in...

I have a thermal camera, it's in my fire gear though so I won't be able to get it for a couple weeks, I'm on vacation. I'll post pics on this thread as soon as I can, that's a good idea!

The return line on the tractor is a female connection. Yes, when you disconnect the backhoe, you have to hook the line that goes into the backhoe back into the return line. It's set up so that you can't mess it up. The return line was getting hot regardless if the backhoe was getting...

Any particular reason why that is the only fitting that's getting hot though? All the rest of them are cool to the touch.

Today I needed to swap out the backhoe for a tiller and when I was done and needed to reconnect the backhoe, I noticed the quick connect that goes back to the tractor from itself was hot to the touch, so much so that I had to very quickly undo it so I could get the backhoe line back on. Once...

Here's what was inside. Parts on order!

I was using my tractor's FEL today and I heard a loud pop up by the FEL while having the bucket about half way curled against the ground pulling backward. Immediately afterward, I can curl the bucket all the way but it starts uncurling without any weight in it, it will uncurl within probably 30...

I have a new BX25D and want to get a post hole digger for it. One came up on craigslist w/a 9" auger bit, a Model 65 SpeeCo. They make a sub compact unit as well, but I'm wondering if the 65 will fit on the 25D's 3 point? Anyone know? It's a fair priced deal and will save me at least a...

I have a BX25D with a 12" backhoe bucket. I'm about to put in roughly 400' of 6' or 8' wood fencing and want to set 4x4 posts in concrete, will probably do 50 holes or so. Given that I'd have to buy an auger (even if I can sell it at the end), or just use the backhoe, what do you guys...
