Backhoe HELP AGAIN !!! John Deere 3033r cab with 385A backhoe

[MAINLYTRACTOR]

Nice! Good to hear it all worked out for you! You even have the thumb on it! Let's see some side shots to see how far back it sits from the rear tires? Why does Deere not suggest these 385a backhoes for 3 series cab tractors?

That looks great, but it sure is close to the window! I'd worry about pressure on it when sitting in the seat.

It’s not to bad the seat is an aftermarket seat as the previous owner had replaced it so I don’t know what the official Deere seat would look like. It was $400+ for the Deere seat

Maybe the $400 seat is less than the rear window replacement?
Maybe the SMV sign removed would give more room, or even trimming off some of the plastic backing on the seat. For sure don't want to put pressure on that rear window and risk breaking it.

you can buy similar seats to the oem on ebay for around $100.00

I'm wondering when JD made it where you can leave the 3 point hitch arms on? With my 4320 all that has to come off to mount the hoe.
