L5240 with backhoe?

[C4Ranch]

Just curious if anyone has a backhoe on a GL and if you have pics of subframe and plumbing?

Do you have to remove 3pt arms to hook up and is it a pain?

TIA!

My dad has a BushHog brand (with subframe) and it has a PTO driven pump.
He does have to remove the 3pt arms, and it is a pain. It's obviously still well worth it.
It is a GL, but it's a 10 series. L3710.

Mine's also a 10 series, but here are some pics of the subframe in case they are of any help. This hoe runs off PTO pump and is not plumbed into the tractor's hydraulics. 3 pt. arms come off for the backhoe, but I've never regarded it as a nuisance. Just takes a few minutes on or off.

I have an L39 which is designed as a loader backhoe tractor and you still have to remove the three point arms for the hoe. Taking the hoe on/off is quite simple. It takes longer dealing the three point arms. Not that is difficult or a pain. Maybe just a little tedious. You have to remove a couple of bolts that hold the pins for the arms. I have anti-seize on the pins so I try to handle them with a rag so I don't get the anti-seize all over my fingers but somehow it still happens. You have to reach back in by the tires to get to the pins for the stabilizers. Again, nothing that is really a pain.

Waxman has a 3240 with backhoe. You might check his posts or pm him for info on his subframe.

I have a kubota l3240 cab hst-3 with bh92 backhoe yes 3pt needs to come off in order to put backhoe on and it's pretty quick taking on and off the backhoe once the 3pt hitch is off

Thanks.. I apparently don't have a HSTC-3 so not sure if woods makes a subframe for mine.. Still checking.
