This was a quartz bolder I dug up with the BH

Good looking machine you have there! I got mine last week also.
What size bucket did you get for the backhoe?
I did notice yesterday after using my backhoe all day Friday that one of the swing cylinders was dripping a little oil from the seal and had made a small puddle on the garage floor.
I had released all the pressure on everything so maybe I need to call my dealer already. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif.
The other thing that was wierd to me is that when I released my brake my dash seemed to jump up a bit. So I grabbed ahold of it and it does move a bit up and down by hand. I believe that is the design. It doesn't seem loose....It just moves. Kinda freaked me out when I first saw it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Congrats on the arrival of your B3030. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
I like the ATI QA. Did you get any other attachments for it?

I know what you mean about the brake release. Mine does that too.

Right now I just have the 60" FEL ATI QA and BH (16" bucket).

The dealer didn't have the 72" MMM in yet. I'm still kinda undecided about mid mount or rear finish mower.

I haven't quite gotten used to the power yet. The backhoe is alot of fun. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif I'm still trying to get the hang of it.

Jibota-

I also noticed a little puddle underneath the BH in the garage on my B7610. I then lowered the boom (it had sagged a bit overnite) and that seemed to stop the leak. More worrisome though was the puddle underneath the tractor. It is definately HST fluid, although the dipstick still reads between the lines. For my own peace of mind I'm going to call the dealer tomorrow.

Pond,

Personally I would not use the boom as a tool to lift rocks like that. Nice rig though. It's a perfect size machine.

Nice tractor /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'd like to know... With a QA, is the bucket a bit loose or is it very tight? (no play at all).

I know now what my B3030 would look like with R4 tires.

Thanks for the pics.

There is no play at all. However, I've not removed the bucket yet. I intended on picking up some used forks. Thats why I wanted a univeral QA - it should give me a wide range to choose from.... or just rent them ifI don't find a good deal.
