The Jinma / Gulin Backhoe



The page contains multiple pictures and may take some time to load.

We do not recommend you perform this lift with your backhoe.  This rear lift is completely unnecessary and is only shown here to indicate the capability and strength of these backhoes.

Overall Backhoe Observations:

The Jinma JW-03 and the Gulin YW-6 backhoe are a virtually self contained unit and is NOT 3 point mounted. Crate dimensions are: H60 x L89 x W26 and about 1,500 pounds. Your hoe is removable from the tractor after it has been installed and set up. With an impact wrench, we have removed a hoe from a tractor in as little as 20 minutes. 10 minutes more and you have re-installed your 3 point arms and drawbar, put the cover plate back on the pump outlet and are ready to go.


The entire system hydraulics for the hoe operate independently from a 6.6 gpm pump that is mounted to the rear of the tractor just above the PTO shaft. This pump is supplied with the hoe and you must remove a blank cover plate held on by 4 bolts to access the shaft that runs the pump. Some tractors are delivered with a 3 bolt cover and will require an 3 to 4 bolt adapter to allow the pump to bolt up to the tractor. On the tractor side is a shaft with female slot that is mated to the pumps male slot and then bolted in place. Be sure to use the gasket or rtv silicone and rotate the pump shaft to the correct angle prior to assembly so that they mate correctly. The bolts that hold the cover plate are kept with the plate as they are not long enough to mount the pump. (Save the plate and bolts - you will need them if you ever remove your hoe.) We have found that you do not always get the correct length bolts in your bolt pack for mounting the pump so you may have to go out and purchase some that are slightly longer.  Hoses from the hoe are then mounted to the pump. Suction line will be low on reservoir tank and mounts on the left side of the pump (facing forward as if driving the tractor) and the pressure side is on the right. Each hose has a compound fiber washer that is in inserted on the hose fitting prior to fastening onto the pump - make sure the washer is in place - coating it with wheel bearing grease prior to installation will help to keep in there. These washers are necessary to prevent leaking and also to prevent air from getting into the system which will cause foaming of the oil. The oil tank will need to be filled with standard hydraulic oil prior to running the hoe.  Operate the levers to displace the air in the lines and again fill the tank to the correct level.  The 540/1000 rpm lever has no effect on the hoe operation.  Remember that the hoe pump will not rotate with the tractor clutch completely disengaged and a lever to engage and disengage the pump is located low and to the rear of your brake pedal foot while sitting in the seat.



The backhoe is mounted to what we call a ladder frame which comes in the crate with your hoe. This ladder is then penned to the tractor underneath using the lower part of the loader brackets at the front. If you do not have a loader then other brackets are used.  For the rear the ladder uses a triangle bracket which is bolted through the slots in the ladder frame and in turn hangs from the main 3 point pins (not 3 point arms). The bolts that go through the ladder slots are tightened and secure after everything is in place.  We recommend that the factory ladder system which is shipped with the backhoe be strengthened prior to any mounting by welding 2 x 2 x 1/4 steel to the bottom of the main bracket arms. We used 2x4 steel shown here but this does decrease ground clearance considerably and is not recommended for hilly terrain.


The side stabilization cylinders are loose in the crate and need mounted to the hoe. Unfortunately when they are removed for shipping they often do not mark which hose goes to which end of the cylinder so you are forced to mount them, assemble the hoses to the cylinder and see if they raise and lower the correct way when you move the lever.  If not correct, then reverse the hoses. Additionally we feel that the side pads do not extend far enough into the ground. We welded a single heavy flat bar which is pointed on the end to each pad. This helps to nail the entire platform to the ground while digging.



We also recommend that you weld a flat bar across the two pin pivot points shown below. This keeps them from spreading under load. Additionally you will find that the stress load may break the pivot pin hold downs.  A bolt will suffice if the pin can only be removed from one direction. If it is a two direction pin then you must use the ones supplied or a similar system that may include a washer or steel bar welded to the end - you may want to keep spare pins on hand.  You may find that grease zerks are broke off on your new hoe. We cannot replace them for you from a thousand miles away - please use a removal tool to backout the broken part - take out one that is not broken and go down to your local parts supply house and purchase some new ones. These are all things that you do yourself. Remember Tractor Outlet is your tractor importer not your local assembly dealer  - this is how you saved money - these minor things that may need attention are up to you to repair.



As a final note: We have personally dug more than 1000' of trenches to a depth of 4 to 6 feet  with our own BH mounted on an JM184.  Good BH operation is based on a sturdy platform with engine RPM at just below redline. FEL bucket should be tilted vertical and the front of the tractor lifted off the ground to maximum.  Rear mounted stabilizer pads should be extended fully into the ground.  Spool valves and levers require some hand/eye co-ordination and experience. Practice makes perfect and before long you will be running your hoe like a pro. A quick hint from a professional is to not bother raising the loaded bucket above the mound when dumping.  Just clear the hole and dump the bucket low into the dirt pile.  The loose dirt you have previously dumped will be easily pushed away with the back side of the bucket as it rotates away. With some minor modifications we have found this to be an excellent backhoe priced at half of a stateside manufactured unit.  If you ordered a Tractor/FL/BH package then it came with a reversing swivel seat.  If you order a backhoe to fit your own tractor don't forget to order your reversing seat.  In a pinch you can reverse a standard seat to fit backwards but this may not be real handy. The BH system is designed for use on the Jinma "Backhoe Ready" tractors.  Mounting on any other tractor will require a PTO driven hyd pump and some hyd. hose adapters.  Be sure to check our Service Bulletin Page for maintenance to your backhoe hydraulic system.
