I picked up a 835S backhoe attachment for my 843 Bobcat and was wondering on the connection. If I hook up the QD fittings the backhoe will only work if I pull the AUX lever to the left and not on the right (with the detent). I figured the last guy swapped the fittings and the flow was backwards but did that and it would not work at all in any direction of the AUX lever. I connected a post hole borer and it worked clockwise with the AUX to the right and anti-clockwise with AUX to the left so figured the Bobcat is OK. Any ideas? Also, I have to make up blocks for the towball style connection as the mounting kit is not for the 843. In regards to the height of the blocks and towball, should the boom be bottomed out when the backhoe is connected?? Thanks for the help.
