I finally was able to get this thing out a few days ago, I had to dig down about 8 feet on all sides and thank goodness I had NOT cut it all down first, the top had broke off last year and the power company had cut it down to about 30 feet of height. I used that extra height and weight to help...

Dug this one up yesterday and finally got it out of the hole this evening. took my dodge 4x4 diesel pulling and my LS 4047 pushing to get it out of the hole !

My Backhoe ( an LS 2100 on my r4047 ) I believe has flow restricters in the lines making cylinder movement Sssloowww . is there any way to remove the restricters so I can control the cylinder speed with the spools instead of shifting full spool and waiting ?

I have a R4047 and I want to fill the rear tires with water ( in my part of Texas we might get a freeze once a year for a day ) will it hurt if the water did freeze as long as I didnt drive the tractor? and my main concern is rust, I dont think my rears have tubes, can you tell from the valve...
