Towing the Backhoe
The Backhoe must be prepared for towing by following the
procedures in the previous “Preparing the Backhoe for
Towing” section first.
1. Position the Backhoe behind the tow vehicle and raise
or lower the Jack to position the Tow Hitch just over
the Tow Ball (Figure 29).
2. Pull the Latch Assembly of the Tow Hitch Assembly up
and into the open position.
3. Lower the Hitch Coupler of the Backhoe onto the tow
vehicle’s Tow Ball (must be a 2" tow ball) by lowering
the Jack until all the weight is on the Tow Ball and the
Jack Base comes off the ground (Figure 30).
