[QUOTE="Farmallh51, post: 77707, member: 9466"] SR, yes I understand what happened. I was not thinking about the added stress to the lower pins with the backhoe, however; now as I think about it almost all other attachments would have less stress placed on the lower pins. These machines are designed for lifting or upward pressure as you have with a bucket, root grapple, tree grapple etc. I have noticed that many things Bobcat designs in their buckets etc. rely on the shape or engineered layout of the steel for strength. Bobcat uses lighter steel than many of the after market attachment makers do to keep them lightweight. I would keep an eye on the lower pins on the bob tach as I would not want to damage it. These are harder to replace than the newer open style bob tach. Thank you for the info and your experimenting as i am sure there a number of us behind you looking to do similar builds. [/QUOTE]
