I have a BH77 attached to my L3200 tractor. When I try to disconnect or reconnect the backhoe to tractor, I have a very hard time trying to line up the mounting pins in the holes due to the backhoe arm not holding position. I have to keep working the wobble stick until the pins become loose and slide them out quickly still working the control stick to keep pressure off the pin. This cannot be normal!
When I first got the tractor about two weeks ago, I could place the boom on ground with pressure off the tractor to remove pins without having to constantly work the control lever to keep pressure off the pins. The boom acts as if there was a pressure leak in a hose, but there are no leaks anywhere that I can see. I told the dealer about this and he is making arrangements to pick up tractor next week to carry back to shop for a check.
Any ideas what could be wrong so I know ahead of time what to expect from dealer?
