Well guys, my CK20 Backhoe has some 30 hours now, the backhoe has dug out 2 stumps and tonight a trench for electric lines, after positioning the tractor and lowering the stabiliser legs a couple times the right one refused to come back up, the link pin had fallen out, upon inspection I find the link pin quite flimsy, the spring pin is about 1/32 inch diameter wire, for a tempory fix I used 1/8 welding wire and bent into a U shape, the sad thing is this tempory fix is more secure than the factory original.
I would expect this to be a issue for others, I will be replacing the spring pins with cotter pins to avoid this problem in the future, I would recomend checking this spring pin on your controls.
On the other hand it dug the trench easily, it amases me how powerful this little unit is
