A burst pipe shouldnt effect it they should have rupture/check valves on them, but the locking pins will be under some major strain which would have me nipping a bit.

I would never of thought they would of had the lift capacity to lift themselves like that on all 3 pivot points.

yes you would have check valves in the main lift rams but not sure if they are fitted to the dipper arm or bucket ram ????
