Well, maybe some operators need to be better trained. Need to talk to his boss . . .

It did seem to be weaker to me than last I used it

I checked, out of the blue, the BH/3Pt selector, seems it was not fully into the BH position. I had recently had the BH off for box blade work, and thought I had set it properly. But, there it is.

It now appears stronger and, while it is not a beast at stump pulling, I did mange to dig out a fair sized white pine, with the last minute or two spend just "rocking" it till it gave up. It did "stall" a few times, but taking a smaller bite seemed to be the ticket there. I presume it is normal to start smelling hot oil when working hard, but started taking it a bit easier, just in case.

So fairly confident now there are no seals leaking as there are no discernible noises or vibrations in the cylinders at limits.

Digging out stumps is about the hardest work for any backhoe. It's hard even on a full sized hoe.
