Hi guys. I have a BX23S in one part of the province and I have the Backhoe unit stored in my shop some where else. I need to load the backhoe on to my trailer using the old fashioned "Tugg and Grunt" method. I haven't got the capabillities to bring the tractor back to pick up the BH because the trailer isn't able to handle both pieces of equipmet My question is where should I bleed the backhoe so I can raise the stabilizers to maket narrower for the moving? I have the unit on two dollies.

Since it's 'freestanding', simply push one lever 'up' and pull/push that stab to 'full up', repeat for other side.
some oil will come out one of the bigger hoses..... Obviously need to strap the two stabs together, else they'll sloooowly fall down.
