why do backhoe attachments have such a bad rap?

[QUOTE="Arik434, post: 103061, member: 14734"] I recently picked up an old 905 backhoe attachment for my Bobcat 463. It had been sitting outside for a while and probably was not used in several years. I am currently in the process of restoring it. Some of the cylinders seem almost cheaper to replace with aftermarket ones rather than rebuild. I’ve got it completely disassembled for cleaning and painting. Most of the hoses need to be replaced and the control valves need some new o-rings, but otherwise, I think this little thing is super cool. A bobcat 418 excavator would dig circles around this, but the 905 seems surprisingly strong for what it is. It’s got a new 12” bucket, which seems great for residential/around the house jobs and/or digging trenches. [/QUOTE]
