Backhoe Is this how I mount this BH90-X?

I have been told I went overboard on my drain process.

It IS a PITA, but I believe in doing it, too. I think I have done it maybe 8x. It is much easier if
you have an overhead hoist to lift the boom and dipper, but another tractor with FEL can do this job,
too.

In my cases, the hoes were new, but the maker used cheapo clear hyd fluid instead of THF, which
is better for the tractor.

I think it is extra important to do this if buying a used hoe that has its own hyd system because
contamination in those is very common.

Do y'all mind sharing the cost from MIE? Did it use a foot pedal?

I don't remember the cost, I will see if I can find my reciept. I do believe they have the price listed on their web site. You have a choice of foot pedal or lever to activate the thumb. I chose the lever and mounted it between the BH control levers.

A quick check of their web site shows prices between $1200-$1800 depending on model and options. I didn't see the Woods BH listed, only Kioti BH's, but they do make them. I would suggest calling them, they are good to work with.

Furu and dfkrug,

Re: flushing the hoe. Would the method described in post #5 below work?
