Great video, just purchased this same setup. Taking delivery tomorrow. Not expecting to remove the backhoe for a while but this made it look very easy.

What a few of use need are videos on how to use the computer system, how do YOU make quotes? Operate john deere finance?

[@WesternEquipment]

Maybe this could be a future idea.

[@65dalexander]

[@davidlinux]

Great videos. I really enjoy them. Have you done a review of the 3046R?

[@WesternEquipment]

No, I have not yet. Hoping to get some 3R videos out very soon. Stay tuned!

Not much different from the older 260. Main difference was the pins. For me I picked up a cart to store the backhoe on. Really helps to push the backhoe in the corner in the shed when not using it and needed space.

Make sure your toes aren't under the down riggers, unit can pop of and drop to ground!

I’ve been struggling to re attach the backhoe the pat few times. The biggest issue being the build up pressure in the lines. I have to bleed the lines by covering the male plug with a rag and gently tapping the tip a few times with the licking pin. I did not have this issue the first time I ever did it so I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Second thing being it’s kinda difficult to line the tractor up to the backhoe. You have square yourself up to the backhoe and your side to side alignment has to be dead on to get it to seat. Again, the first time I did it after watching just a video or two, it took me less than 5 minutes to reattach. Recently it’s been taking me 10 or 15 between struggling to get the connectors to fit and aligning the backhoe to the tractor. Does anybody have any tips to make it even easier? Cause I know this is a really fast and easy system. Just can’t think of what Ive been doing differently lately.

I also learned the hard way. What you have to do is raise the stabilizers and put them in the locking position. Otherwise they will build pressure causing you to have to bleed the line every time

[@StevenITGuy]

The lining up takes practice. You can also get/build a roller for the backhoe to sit on. Allowing you to adjust the backhoe into position rather than the tractor

260 on the 2305 is so much easier.
