    Subcompact backhoe *stabilizers* are NOT the same as true backhoe *outriggers*. Do not lift the tires off the ground - only enough stabilizer or bucket pressure to slightly remove weight from tires. Same with front bucket. Read the manual, it explicitly says one or both rear wheels should remain in contact with the ground.

    Hi, newer compact tractor owner here. Can anyone explain why a hydrostatic transmission needs to be in neutral while operating the backhoe?

    • @btmacfarlane
      @btmacfarlane  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In case the pedal gets depressed by accident during operation! Not very common but does happen in older/looser HST pedals.

    I never raise the L3400 off the ground ,,lock the brakes,put the front end loader into the dirt, put down the stableizers down trying to keep things level. the worse thing about my backhoe is when I am trying to hook it up. I hope K pulled their heads out and made changes to the "pain in the ass" hook up system they devised. always a danger in hooking up. Oh, my buddy just told me they now have a quick and easy hook up system......ha, $550.

    I'm new to tractors. I bought a new Kubota and Backhoe. I took the backhoe off the tractor because I wanted to use the bush hog. I placed the backhoe in a grassy area. It was firm ground until it started raining. Now the backhoe is laying flat on the ground with the stablizers legs spread out. Is there an easy way to get the legs back underneath? I've seen videos of them resting on the ground like this, but I've never seen how to stand it back up. After I get it up, I plan on moving a few 6x6 blocks underneath to keep it up and placing it on a concrete pad. Any help would be appreciated.

      Pick it up with your front bucket and some chain. Be very careful.

      Lifted my BH77 using aftermarket hooks installed on the bucket and 6' straps from Harbor Freight. Blocks were 6x6. Make sure you cover the backhoe with tarps if it is exposed to the elements.

    • @tbredhed4786
      @tbredhed4786 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The BH77 uses the power beyond hydraulic connections to operate the backhoe hydraulics. Back the tractor close to the backhoe and remember to bleed off all the pressure in the system or you will not be able to make the connections. Connect the hoses on from the tractor and the backhoe, each hose is a few feet long. Once the hoses are connected properly start the tractor and the BH77 hydraulics will operate as normal, you will be able to move the stabilizers into the proper position as well as the boom. After that it is just a matter of adjusting the BH77 into position so that the tractor can back into position and the BH77 can drop into the cradle and the retaining pins are inserted. Hope this helps.
      Cheers

      @@tbredhed4786 Thanks for the tip. Months ago, I finally got the nerve up to do exactly what you said. And like you said, the hose didn't want to connect because of the pressure. I had to look at another video on what to do about that. I loosen the coupler just a little bit to allow the pressure to decrease. Then I retightened the coupler. The coupler connected easy. I'm more confident now running the tractor putting implements on and off.

      @@kellyboles5194 Thanks for the idea. I was able to connect the hose and using the legs and bucket walk it upright to allow the tractor to hook up.

  • @paolo2841

    Is the tractor not more stable, weight wise with all 4 wheels on the ground. Loader down and stabilizer arms down ?

    • @kellyboles5194
      @kellyboles5194 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would agree with your approach based upon extensive usage / experience. The backhoe needs resistance as it has the ability to drag / move the tractor.

    Not a pro operator of backhoes butt own one and farm been working in trucking since i was 18 now 37, and there are many good videos on tieing equiment to trailers on You tube attachments must be surecured to trailer that are mounted on the main equiment per dot regulations loaders buckets and backhoe buckets must be on the trailer deck and have a chain or ratchet strap on them the lock pin in the backhoe is nice butt the state trooper can pull anyone over to inspect cargo securement on anyone per fed rules and check your weights that goes on state laws and there are diffent rules at 10,000 lbs and higher then 10,000 and under think dirt prefect has one thats well explained with a state trooper just putting it out there

    Seatbelt! LOL. My BH77 didn't come with a seatbelt. Guess if you have the B2650 with Cab you are S.O.L.

  • @wildbill23c
    @wildbill23c ปีที่แล้ว

    If you are supposed to raise the wheels of the tractor off the ground while using the backhoe, the parking/emergency brake isn't going to do anything for you, and it won't matter if you have the transmission in gear or neutral either LOL.
    I didn't get a backhoe model tractor, for the ridiculous up-charge for one, I can rent an excavator for that one or two times a decade I need one.

      If your stabilzers lose grip while you're on a slope, the tractor could settle onto the tires and away you go. Very rare, but it can and has happened.
