It covers positioning the stabilizers and bucket, switching hydraulic hookups between the backhoe and three-point arms, pulling the retaining pins, and realigning the mounts on reattachment - a full cycle done in under ten minutes. Best for new 3039R/385A owners wanting a practical reference before trying it themselves.
