I have a Kubota B2910 and use a 72" belly mower. My questions relate to the compatibility between a subframe or 3ph mounted backhoe with the attachment and operation of the belly mower. Specifically:
1. With a subframe backhoe installed on the tractor, can the belly mower also be installed on the tractor and operated? I assume the answer to this is clearly no, because the presence of the inserted subframe would physically interfere with the presence of the belly mower.
2. With a subframe backhoe removed from the tractor, can the belly mower be installed and operated? This question arises because at least one backhoe mounting bracket stays underneath the tractor (in the Woods 7500 model I am looking at) after the backhoe is removed, and it appears that this bracket itself will interfere with the belly mower.
3. With a 3ph backhoe installed on the tractor, can a belly mower be simultaneously installed and operated? I understand the 3ph backhoe locks the rear 3ph from moving up and down, but does it also prevent the midmower belly links from also moving up and down?
4. With a 3ph backhoe removed from the tractor, can the belly mower be installed and operated, or is there some remaining bracket or device that would interfere?
If the answer varies by manufacturer, I am currently considering a Woods 7500 and a Kubota (whatever for the 2910), but I would consider other brands.
Thanks.
