It has been 1 to 2 months since I have used my backhoe. I thought I would be good to show how long it takes for a beginner to connect the 260B backhoe up.
Great video. re: getting things squared up "The Struggle is Real". I've found the "backhoe storage dolly" from bxpanded to be a complete game changer. It allows you to line up the backhoe to the tractor versus the tractor to the backhoe which eliminates the most frustrating part of the process. BTW I also have a 2022 2025R and I'm learning as I go..so I really relate to your videos :) Keep 'em coming!
Thanks for the encouragement :) Glad you found something to help with that. Does the bxpanded dolly only work on a concrete pad, or would the system also work on gravel?
@@kirbystractoradventures good question. I've only used it on concrete. The front wheels are roughly shopping cart size, so they wouldn't work on really deep/soft gravel or dirt but if it was relatively packed down it would probably be ok.
This why I'm so thankful to have indoor, on a cart, storage for my backhoe. Just roll the cart up to the tractor and connect the hoses. About 90 seconds.
While I am connecting the back hoe I had the throttle at idle, (all the way down). Except when I was backing up to it. When I turned to look back over my left shoulder, my knee hit the leaver and increase the throttle on me ;)
