Don’t know your tractor, but are there other safety cutoff features other than on the pto? For example, on the seat, gears, etc?

I had something similar happen with the pin that has the sliding lock pin. Ended up bending the small frame between the loader and main loader frame which was replaced using a chain hoist, strap and come along.

I agree. I don’t think many people consider the stresses transferred thru the tractor frame to the front. That’s where the subframe avoids other potential weak spots. It’s obvious is a lot of stress is directly applied to and thru the 3 pt but some of that migrates thru the tractor frame...

I bought a used worksaver hydraulic 3pt at auction several years ago. Real happy to have the ability to go in reverse. They also make ss mounted and a bolt on Fel model.

Looks good. What backhoe will this be used on? What’s the purpose of the circles cut out?

I’m not certain about lifting the tree but what about a wide tow strap. could you wrap it around the trunk multiple times to distribute the stress and then try lifting a little?

Is that including tariffs? When did you get that quote/price?

This is a good point… the kubota sub frame distributes the load to the loader mounts on the front of the tractor transferring the stress around to multiple points and not only on the back end of the tractor. It’s not only the weight of the backhoe on the 3 pt. to consider it’s the dynamic load...

JraBras and makes a good point above. A landscape rake could be aggressive if you don’t have the wheels to adjust / limit the depth of the tines

Have you thought about a light weight version of a York landscape take with guide wheels? York rakes can be very expensive but there are clones available

check if mahindra offers a backhoe and if so how does it attach? It will probably cost more than a third party bh but if the subframe is a 4pt mount you will be ahead IMO. kubota and nh subframes have 2 pts on each side...4 pt total. The kubota is easy to mount / dismount in 5 or 10 minutes when...

Similar to the above comment, I managed to bind some small piece of wood between the blade and housing that caused one blade to stop rotating and throw it off balance. Was a pita to remove that piece of wood.

I’ve read that two fences one high the other short interferes with the deers lack of depth perception and ability to jump. I don’t recall the spacing or the height of the short fence right now. I haven’t tried it but need to do something around the garden

Inkjets heads and ink dry out when not used and the bills I recieve that use an inkjet smudge if they get wet
