I won't say it is indestructible now. Still, I think the cylinders may wear out before I have any more outrigger problems ..... here is a tip ... the cylinder pivot pins need greasing every three hours ... in fact, it doesn't hurt to grease the whole thing every three hours ...... I found out the hard way that the eyes on the rams will break off if not regularly lubricated..... they get extremely hot if you don't grease them and they will weaken over time to the point that they break right off

I know about the stock coupler behind the motor but mean something on the bucket end of the backhoe. A friend dumps his dirt in a small trailer he tows with a small garden tractor. When he moves his backhoe around he just curls his bucket and puts it at the front of the trailer with enough lift to get the stabilizers off the ground and pulls the backhoe around his place that way. Saves swapping the wheels around for the typical tow mode.
