had a enough use to notice if they need a lot of adjusting to kkep tight? thanks

thanks for the reply. i was told later by someone else to turn the ignition on and use the aux controls to let off pressure. i am looking into needle valves to reduce the swing speed of the backhoe, which is a very old unit. it can be slow but takes a lot of concentration to keep slow.

i tried to relieve the pressure several ways for a long time by holding the key to the left immediately after shut off. still had trouble until i loosened the flange nut on the bobcat at the quick disconnect. i was wondering if there was a relay or something to relieve the pressure when the key...

thanks for the input, especially about the needle valve. would you put the needle valve on the main line to the attachment, or on the line that just swings the backhoe. if you put a valve on the main line to the attachment which line on the bobcat flows to the attachment the top or bottom...

any info on where to get the high pressure quick disconnect will be appreciated. thanks

another thought. can you get a 3 pt hitch adapter and mount a 3 pt hitch backhoe to a bobcat skid steer? would the mount be to weak?

will a 763 carry a woods backhoe attachment ok? thanks

anyone used a backhoe attachment that will dig about 8' and operate from inside the cab? i have a 763 and want to dig around the farm. not professionally. also can someone reccommend some inexpensive tracks over the rubber tires? thanks

thanks for the reply, i have been working with a rented kubota b21 backhoe for planting trees and grading and was looking at getting a used kubota b21 or L35. i am working on slopes and hillsides some and was wondering if a skid steer would be better for the slopes? thanks

looks too small. i will keep looking. thanks

looking at new holland skid steer ls140 2005 for 13,000 usd. is this a good price. will this be too small for small grading and adding a small backhoe attachment? this is not for a business use but around a couple of houses i am building. planting and grading mostly. thanks
