I have a Kubota B2920 and a frame mounted BH65 backhoe that I have not used yet. When the tractor was delivered I had the man disconnect the backhoe and we stored it in my shop basement. I have been using my loader, bush hog, box blade, but now I am ready to use the backhoe. I removed the 3 point hitch arms, and backed the tractor up to the backhoe. The first problem I encountered was that the hydraulic line to the backhoe was barely long enough, even when I backed up right next to the backhoe. I did get it attached, and the return line.
The next thing was when the instructions said to "raise the boom all the way up", I pulled on the boom lever and the bucket just slid on the floor toward me. This raised the stabilizers off the floor a few inches. I tried to lower the stabilizers with the stabilizer controls, but they did not move, up or down. I rechecked the hydraulic line connections and they are both snapped in and tight. No leaks.
I am new to tractors, so I just have to try to follow the directions in the book. I do not know what to try next. Why do my stabilizers not work? The boom moved when I tried to raise it, so it seems that I do have hydraulics, but the boom did not seem to "raise" the way I expected it to.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
