Backhoe BT751 weight? Removing Boom cylinder.

[joea99]

Can someone supply the weight of the BT751 BH? I need to lift the boom enough to swing the boom to one side, so as to remove the boom cylinder for servicing. This is a backyard deal, not a shop floor, so I am improvising.

The swing cylinders are already out, so it should swing easily (sure) once the weight is off. I am a bit concerned about the unit tipping if I do that though.

Hi Joe, this might be a little late to help you, but I found a weight of 892 pounds for the BT751.
