Well,
1. is this a new machine to you, or how long have you had it?
2. how long has it been doing this?
3. what other backhoes have you operated before, and how many hours approximately?
4. are you comfortable using two or three functions at a time?
5. what engine speed are you running?
6. how much slop in the pins? extend the boom all the way out, jiggle side to side, how far does it bounce back and forth?
