Sounds like crap to me. I can see bypassing the 3pt as you can't use it with the hoe on, but not the loader. Every backhoe I've ever used needed the bucket to be lowered for proper stability while digging. Sounds like they plumbed things in wrong.
Agree, on rereading the ops initial post, he did tell dealer it was unacceptable, take it back and correct, so his instincts were correct and direct. Good call.
As pointed out, use of 3pt is the conflict with hoe and there is probably a thumb screw to lock 3pt control in disengaged position so you can't accidentally bump it to engage with hoe attached.
Please post follow up with dealer resolution.
