I posted this on another tread and figured I try it here.


My problem with all this is, I watched the JD video before buying my 2720 and in the Video they showed the operator backing up to the backhoe and picking it up, got off to connect the hydraulics and drove away. This I come to find out is not so, With any backhoe that I may buy, I'd have to remove the MMM, remove the MMM brackets, Remove the draft arms from 3PT hitch to mount the Hoe brackets. Since my most use is grass cutting and bush hogging, I find this is just too much work to go from one implement to another. I am angry with my dealer for not pointing this out to me when he knew full well that I intended to buy a hoe later on for that machine. As I see it , It's almost easier to buy a whole machine $$$$$$$$ with a backhoe than to hassle with the work involved in this type of installation. Of course I have not researched the possibility of a 3PT hitch Hoe that runs off the PTO. Would appreciate any input on this subject.

I have seen just strait out 3point Hitch backhoe units that run off pto and i have seen the same thing that can connect to the hydrolics of the tractor as well.

wooden,

Not sure how long you can wait, but Deere is supposed to be releasing the 270 backhoe for your tractor that may be easier to mount than the 46. It will be compatible with the MMM, and you can even leave the 3 point hitch arms on. See here:





Oh I can wait!! do you have any idea when this may be released? guess at the price? I still have to pay shipping to the Virgin Islands which can be costly so that is also a factor.
