I don't kniw about your setup, but my skidsteer is almost 2000 lbs heavier and my backhoe is over 500 lbs heavier. With the backhoe folded up forward it is front heavy. I find it better to drive with it turned to the side. I would think on a 10 ft trailer backed on, it would be tough to get any...

with hauling it another thing you may need to consider is weight. I believe the skidsteer is around 4800 lbs and the backhoe around 1500 lbs. If you have a 10k trailer with the weight of the trailer you will be at the max. Now if you throw track or something else you will be over.

They said that is what they see, the spring breaks. It is $75 and has to be ordered. I should have it next week.

I own a 853 bobcat. My hydraulics have been weak. If my skidsteer will not lift, I pree the pedal it wil pick up a couple inches, then will repress the pedal and it will pick up a couple more inches. I ran a pressure test through the aux. hydraulics. and at idle it was 900psi. When the engine is...

I put a tester on the aux hydro. When idle it is about 900 psi. When at full speed it goes up to 1500 psi but quickly drops down to 900psi. Is this the pump or something else?

The wheels will not come off the ground. Is it possible to be the pressure relief valve? The good thing is the pump is not to expensive.

Hi, I am new to the forum but have been watching for a while. I have a 94 bobcat 853. To me it seems like the hydraulics for the lift arms and bucket are weak. I know that the lift capacity of the machine is 1700 lbs. I know it will pick that, but it will not pick up a full bucket of dirt. If...
