So I FINALLY got around to taking my tractor into a dealer on the loader problem. They messed with it for a while and said it had no problems. I told them to keep messing with it. So as I told them they drove around with a load in the bucket for a while and let it set. They came back a little while later and it had dumped its load on the ground. They determined it was a bad loader valve. Agco had them do a bunch of tests including "rebuilding" the valve which didn't work. They replaced the valve and supposedly the loader stayed up all weekend. Pick it up tomorrow. We will see I guess.

Thats for posting, i'm glad you got your massey back. Hope the cost wasn't to much.
I have had great luck with my (2005, 650 hours) 2350 backhoe, of which I used the hoe for about 30 to 80 hours a year for drainage, underground utilities and tree planting. Only major issue would be the paint is peeling from the foot rest platforms (mostlikey from sitting outside). My minor issue is the quick connect/disconnet hydrallic hoses, which I think are too short. It becomes a pain when installing the backhoe and you need to precisely align everything. It seems that they just make the connection with nothing to spare and alot of swaring. For six years now I have been saying I am going to see if I could get a pair of extension hoses if they make such thing (just need 6" to 12"), but then I soon foget about it as soon as I take off the backhoe to play with just the loader & mower. Can anyone recommend where I might get some extension hoses with the same connections for the 2350 & 2300 to mate up?
