Hi,
I recently got a 2018 M7060HD12 ROPS, and I have a question about the hydraulic line for the backhoe. The previous owner kept the backhoe and I'm wondering if the machine is actually running without the pump circuit being properly set up.
As I've been familiarizing myself with the machine, I noticed this label on the right footboard:
Above it there are two hoses running to the back of the machine:
They output here:
Right now, without the backhoe, I think that they are effectively capping the system, if my understanding is correct. All the information I've found online indicates the backhoe line that stays on the tractor should be plugged into one of these ports to complete the circuit, but I haven't come across a loose line on my machine, so I suspect I need to get a short jumper hose that plugs into those ports to complete the circuit when the backhoe is not on the machine. Is that correct?
Thanks,
John
