Don,
Thanks for taking the time to post the pictures. You have the setup I want with the TnT and BH90 and it really helps to see actual pictures of the installation.
Thanks again

So I wonder why my dealer told me, and the manual reads, that the 3 point has to be removed, lift arms and leveling arms, for installation of the BH90. I couldn't leave well enough alone and hooked up the BH90 today, without removing the lift arms or anything. I only loosened the stablizers so the arms could float free until I had the BH90 connected.
The only thing I see that could be an issue is the possibility of a stabilizer hose hooking on the end of the lift arms, but that's easy to watch and avoid.
I do believe this is why they cut the frames on the sub-frame and the BH they way they did.
Anyone have any tips on the lift arms when using the BH90 on the back?

Thanks,
Chris

Don..... great picture essay of how to remove the hoe. It seems that it is as simple as the BX hoe to remove. The only thing that I do differently is that when I remove the hoe, I put the two ends of the hydro lines together rather than using the caps. I find that there is no contamination using this method and there is no chance of rust on the male side of the connector either. Also, should there be any expansion of hydro fluid by temperature change, this will allow the fluid to circulate within the system and balance out while the hoe is at rest.

Thanks for the post/pics. Well done. I knew the BH removal was easier on the KUB than the NH I bot. You've just shown it! The NH is much more of a hassle as the subframe comes off with the BH, the arms/bucket are stored stretched out. Anyway, thanks.

Also thanks so much from me! You've made the process so clear, I can actually see how the process would be reversed to reattach the backhoe!

You really should be doing the manuals for Kubota. This is much better than the book. And I learned a few things, even after a year with the BH-90!

I know this post is old, but it should be a sticky to help out us newbie hoe owners.

Great job TXDon!
