Mowing Max 25/28 MMM with backhoe subrame?

Am I correct, thinking that your backhoe is not a Mahindra backhoe? Post some pictures of your backhoe and how it attaches.

On my 28XL you can have both on at the same time and run either one BUT the deck will be rolling on the wheels. You cannot attach the links to raise and lower without removing the backhoe.

This is correct if the BH is on you cannot raise or lower the MMM, the MMM is raised and lowered by the 3-point and it is removed to mount and operate the BH.

No. Its a dealer installed Mahindra MB60 backhoe with the quick attach. Its not the mounting of the backhoe that's the issue. That all works well. It's that I have nothing to attach the tension/height adjust rods for the MMM to anymore. I will post pictures.

My finger is pointing to lift assy attached to the rods

Most excellent! Thank you for the pictures Robbieo11. That is definitely helpful!

That is definitely not what I got back after the backhoe install. In conclusion: All the hardware for the MMM in the rear was removed when they installed the subframe for the BH- back to like how it would be if I never had a mower without all of the lift assy brackets you are pointing to and height pin bracket. All that stuff in a pile of parts in a bucket handed back to me. In hind-sight, I'm not really sure why it was removed. Perhaps it just didn't make sense to the technician how it went together when the subframe was installed and therefore left it off.:duh:

I'm a little "puzzled" how it will all fit on there with the new receiver hitch and the lower 3-pint arm, but I guess I will tackle trying to figure it out myself. The lower 3-point arm is in the way when the BH is installed so it has to be raised out of the way. So those two vertical braces that connect the upper and lower 3-point arms, are removed and the lower 3-point arm is connected to the upper lift arm by the anti-sway chain instead of the two braces. Is that the correct configuration when you want to install the BH? That is how it was configured when I received it back from the dealer.

Have you contacted your dealer? Sounds like maybe they may have left something off when they installed the hoe.

No. If you have the BH mounted, technically you are supposed to pull the drawbar and then the turnbuckles go along the base of the BH subframe.

Once you drop the BH then you are supposed to put the 3PH arms on, remount the drawbar and reroute the turnbuckles as well. I just hang the turnbuckles from the top lifters and then use the MMM.

Yes. That's exactly what happened, and they are going to take care of it. All the height adjustment hardware will get installed back on.



I find it odd there are differences you guys are stating that is to be removed and configured. This is how I understand it according to photo (Courtesy of Robbieo11).

Tractor Configuration:
1. Top 3-pt turnbuckle- Removed completely
2. Drawbar (hitch)- Removed completely
3. Lower 3-pt arms- Fixed (not removable).
4. 3-point connector arms- Removed completely.
5. Anti-sway turnbuckles- Detached from point A. and attached to point B. 3-Pt is then raised to highest position.
