I have a TC33D with 7308 loader and new 757C backhoe. Everything works fine except the loader regenerative (fast) dump. Normal dump works fine but when I go to fast dump position the bucket actually rolls back, opposite of normal. The reservoir is full. Maybe there's air in the FEL bucket...

I've got an opportunity to swap the 16" bucket that came with my new 757C hoe for a new 12" bucket. I'll be using the hoe a lot for digging out stumps but I also want to be able to move some plain dirt when needed. I thought the 12" might be a good compromise since this isn't a particularly...

What's the difference between a rigid back box blade and a hinged back box blade? Are they designed to do different things, or does one or the other have any particular advantage?
