My Bobtach cracked 3 times not far from both levers that keep the backhoe attached to the Bobtach! The bobcat dealer replaced the Bobtach 2 times and reinforced the area once but still it cracks. I think the two problems are related: the movement of the backhoe causes the crack? So when I told an engineer that I was going to make 2 clamps to hold my backhoe in place he told me that this movement is necessary and if I stop it I would only push the problem on to the next weaker spot and I will get a crack there. I still don't believe that having the backhoe holding on by the tip end (10mm) of the pins is normal?!   One more question (probably silly): is it normal for my S130 to go faster reverse than forward??</blockquote>
