Noticed my backhoe dropped overnight. It's not touching the ground but it did drop enough to notice. Is this normal? I'm new to the hydraulic world. Maybe I should use the pins or let the backhoe rest on the ground when not in use. Should make it harder to steal if someone wants to try and dodge some bullets. After reading some other posts on here and in some other areas it looks like this is normal. Thanks
The 8B BH has a pin for the boom to keep it from going down and a pin for the swing. Nothing for the stabilizers. I use ropes right now for them. I would like to make some sort of locking mechanism for them.
