Difficulty of connecting/removing 511 hoe from 7520

[SPYDERLK]

Spyderlk--I also have a problem with the seat contacting the hyd connectors and when the dealer was showing me how to use the BH when it was delivered on Mon, the hyd connections came loose about every couple of minutes. The seat back has a design flaw in that it contacts the hyd connectors. I have emailed Mahindra and have gotten a reply--they are supposed to call me. So far, I haven't used the BH because of this problem. The dealer had a tough time continuing to connect the hyd so I haven't used the bh. I have been busy clearing some bushes using the FEL and am starting to feel comfortable using it. Have cleared several acres of Yaupon bushes--they multiply like crazy here. I will try to take some pics of the tractor, BH and connections.

BTW, how do u upload a pic??

Yould think they would have something like that fixed by now. I did several mods to make mine fit. Among them:
1)Move the seat position on its frame as far away from the connections as possible,
2)Beat a big dent in the back of the seat for clearance,
3)Weld a stop point in the frame the seat bracket pivots in,
4)Modify a right angle hyd fitting to get minimum profile.
Where was your tractor set up? Pls take a look at the list of things I wrote you about needing checking in the 7520 update thread. Sounds like your dealer did not check the package out before delivering.
I dont remember exactly where the eng oil drain is and its wet and dark out now. I dont recall it being too hard to find. I think it was beside the front driveshaft guard.

Any up date from Mahindra on the seat and bh location problem? Anyone know if this continues to be a problem on the models being shipped today?
