I guess I am a moron. I didn't realize that it was necessary to keep the transport pins in at all times except when running the backhoe itself. I didn't see this in the manual and they didn't tell me that when they ran me through the tractor setup.

What's funny is that when I first thought I had a problem, I asked the salesman if the pins needed to be in and he said they shouldn't have to be, that the boom arm should stay up by itself. After reading your guys posts, today I talked to the technician at the dealer who had worked on it. He said yes the pins should be in at all times. He also said that they had replaced two cylinders and several valves because they weren't within spec. Makes me lose a little confidence in the dealer (and JD rep they talked to) since a little better explanation could have saved both of us a lot of hassle and time.

You're right, the level indicator was for the FEL, I just typed it in the wrong place. Although the JD website configurator had the taller ROPS as an additional extra,the dealer said that the folding ROPS option was automatically the taller one for the backhoe. I'll check to be sure which was priced.

There was one other configuration issue though that neither dealer could answer. I wanted the tractor setup so I could add a top and tilt. I guess these are rare around here because neither of them had installed one before or could tell me what additional items I may need installedto run one. One even said that there was not enough room on the back for the power beyond hookups and the remote hydraulic hookups. Is this true? If I get both installed is this enough for the top and tilt or do I need to have a diverter valve and another joystick installed? What all comes with the gearmore setup?
