Backhoe Which Backhoe for 790?

[AKfish]

The BH has a relief valve of its own that is set near 1900 psi. For me, the BH has been a disappointment.

I'd invest some time reviewing the pros and cons of increasing the operating pressure of the backhoe.

Deere is generally pretty conservative with the operating parameters of their equipment - they leave a big margin - to ensure reliability and longevity.

But, would 2,150psi be too close to the operating limits of the cylinders and components: boom, dipper and stabilizers, etc.?

Sorry it's not green - but it's a representation of what you can accomplish with a BH70X on a 34hp tractor. It put them on the trailer as well...
