Is this typical Mahindra service?

Dave,
Can these three remotes be mounted on the side of the fender? Just to the left and below the light in this photo.. <img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/files/mahindra-buying-pricing/389834-typical-mahindra-service-remotes-5525-2-jpg"/>
Or would that interfere with 3PH arm movement?

I was thinking similar, somewhere where the hydraulics don't drip on the tractor. Also, I paint my spools right out of the box so they don't rust up.

I figured that you were going to be needing more for your future tractor business. :confused3:

Brian,
My backhoe stays on 99% of the time. In my mind, I have been forming a design for a front lite weight backfill blade that will tilt and angle. I needed this when I ran over 700 feet of water line around trees and went behind the barn where the fence is 20 feet away. I still need to get in there and make it better for run off.

My design, as of now, will use the grapple's diverter for hydraulics and have a manual diverter valve on the blade to shift from angle to tilt. What I really need is an excavator with a tilt grading blade. My homemade backhoe bucket blade works great, but will not tilt.
hugs, Brandi

I'm not sure, other than we have had nearly two years of month over month sales records for tractors as well, not just backhoes. Perhaps people are feeling better about the economy and have forgotten 2008-2010 with all of the foreclosures and job losses.

For what its worth, It seems every OEM is in this boat right now. Sales are up this year more than most everyone expected and inventory has just been hard to get.

Wonder what's causing the major uptick in backhoes all of a sudden?

It is the fastest way to bury a lot of cannabis.

Or folks finally realized a BH is a very useful attachment. After owning one 7.5 years, I am still finding new uses for it.

They sure are. Way more useful to me that having an excavator and the maintenance and transporting issues associated. Excavators are for serious digging, but I don't do enough of that to own one.

In the beginning I'll be using it for stump removal. The largest will be 20"-25".

Wedge,
That is what I got mine for. That and cleaning out the gully, with the thoughts of a pond or two on the back burner.
