Yes, command control, two pods with a switch on the RH pod to change from Backhoe to ISO and jack legs on the LH pod.

@doobin The jaws on my 4in1 seem slow opening & closing (compared with youtube videos) & it stalls easily if driving whilst the hydraulics are still activated. Is this normal or could the flow be restricted somehow? Its an attachment that we are definitely not getting the most out of but can see the potential of it in the right hands.

What model? Make sure high flow is off, it doesn't like trying to stuff all that extra flow into the small pipes on a 4 in 1.

8.4SK. Thank you, I'll check regarding the high flow but think it has been.

Same as mine. Double check the high flow, most likely the problem.

@doobin I think you were probably correct. I have also managed to increase the speed of the bucket opening by opening the valves slightly with instruction from Jordan at Compact Loaders.

Just shimmed the legs- down to the last shim so will order more pads. You were so right- what a world of difference!!

Waxoil is specified in the JCB manual.
My trouble is it's not available in Oz.
I use something called Lanox that seems a similar product.

£430 ex vat, I didn't think that was too bad. The fronts are nearly new and the other rear is pretty fresh- I got one the same (BKT)

Can anyone recommend a Scandinavian style tilting grader bucket for this, most importantly with a bolt on wear edge? I like to keep my bucket corners fresh.

We can build you one if you like?

Sounds good, please PM a price and the spec you'd recommend for the backhoe! I'm thinking it would be an ideal tool combined with the extendahoe for maintaining tracks etc. I should be fine with the normal grading bucket for ditching?
Any opinions welcome, I don't want to buy the wrong thing.
