Backhoe L3200 with BH77 weak and leaks down

[USCG1]

Call MIE today to place the order for the ripper the lady that answered the phone was real nice but the man she transfer me to was rude. I asked about ordering one and was told to get in line they were back log till late October. When I asked if they were pretty good about getting them out on time he said how would I know that's two months down the road. MIE thanks for be so rude guess I will just keep looking.

I have the same BH on my L3700. I also thought it was weak. I shimmed my relief valve and the loader is significantly stronger and I think the hoe is as well.

You may want to check your pressure. My L3800 with FEL and BH77 was at 2300PSI I added shims with a bump to 2700PSI. It made a big difference for the FEL and hoe. My hoe will also leak down if I forget to latch it. I had a Ford with a woods hoe with PTO pump, same thing. There is quite a bit of weight there without the latch.
I agree with other comments, stump removal within a reasonable size is all about technique. Some trees have several roots that go directly down into the ground, they are tough!!

I have a BH77 on a B3000 and it seems to work well. Stumps are the most difficult thing to excavate with a hoe, so maybe work on your technique. Here's a link that might help. This guy is a talented operator and has some good tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=3&v=5e7-90ND5aU

I seen a two ton mini excavator take as long to get a stump out as with me with forks on a fel. I put the loader in float, drive the forks under the roots and use the curl function at the same time drive ahead very slowly a foot or two. Break of the roots the break up the root ball the pry out the stump. Having said that it is harder on gear then using a back hoe.

What other backhoe can you get for an L4740 with a cab.
