I have the same problem with my Kubota, but I believe it's because the 3pt mounted hoe is too small to physically lift the tractor, and it's too high (beyond reach of outriggers to raise the machine). I was told essentially to purchase an inline gauge and check the hydraulic pressure, which I intend to do, eventually.

Is yours a stock equipment subframe mount or 3pt mount?
 
Yeah I agree, sounds like a pressure problem to me. Heck my BX25, between the FEL and outriggers, can put the entire machine, along with my big butt, off the ground and up in the air. Granted mine is a small scut but even so I would think yours should be able to do so.

On the SCUTs, and maybe the CUTs, the stabilizer cylinders are a bit on the small size diameterwise. They have a difficult time raising the rear of the tractor off the ground if the loader bucket is already supporting the front end.

Simple solution, use the stabilizers to raise the rear first, then lift the front with the loader.

Alternate solution, Apply down force with the back hoe boom and bucket to raise the rear and then extend the stabilizers to level the tractor at that height.

Thats fine on level ground but i dont want to swing hoe to downhill side could tip it over and should not have to
Attempt to raise the rear end with the backhoe. If you can, lower the stabilizers. Does the stabilizers support it or do they bleed down?
They hold for sometime
 
Drop the down hill rigger. Swing the hoe and level the tractor. Then put the rigger down the rest of the way.
That should become a habit.
Other than sitting it on the ground the loader should be the last adjustment.
Shouldn't matter if it's a big commercial hoe or your little one. Level the hoe first.
