Read articles →This is a narrow, practical fix-it video, not a general review: the owner shows how the dealer mis-installed the optional mechanical thumb on a BH2720 backhoe (for the GC2700 series), preventing the arm from reaching travel mode. He relocates the pin, finds the welds are too thick to clear, files them down by hand, and demonstrates travel mode working afterward. Useful mainly for GC1700/2700 owners with the same thumb-install problem.
Appears to be an individual owner documenting a hands-on repair to his own backhoe attachment, not a dealer or sponsored channel.
