I've got a new Century 3647, 4 wheel drive, with the new Cummins. I did not need the FEL, but really could use the backhoe. I've had some people tell me you can use the tractor and backhoe without the FEL, and others say it should never be done. Any ideas?
The Century dealer says the backhoe must have the FEL because it uses the subframe and pump, etc.
But I've seen companies like Bradco which offer aftermarket backhoes using a 3 pt. hitch connection, no FEL required.
Is there any advantage or disadvantage to using the 3 pt. system instead of the subframe?
I'm stumped.
Thanks, Anthony
