Backhoe MMM with backhoe?

[jfhall]

I've heard people talk about the compatibility between the MMM and backhoe. Can you use both? What I heard was the brackets for the MMM got in the way of the subframe. Is this true, can the brackets be removed, or is there any other way around it. I've been leaning towards the MMM, but would also want a backhoe at some point.

From what I understand, you may use both without interference. The MMM locks up in position when you use the backhoe if I remember right, or you only remove the deck, but the dealer members can tell you for sure. John

There may be a compatibility issue if your backhoe uses a mounting system that stays attached to the tractor when the backhoe is removed. In the case of my New Holland a MMM would not be feasible with my backhoe.

I don't see a problem using a MMM and a backhoe that uses a 3-point mount system.

So the Kioti does not use a full subframe? (They should be) If it does they you can't use a MMM at the same time.

What model tractor are you asking about?

No you can not run the (full frame) subframe backhoe and mid mount mowers on the Kioties together.

I was referring to the CK20HST. I'm aware that I would need to remove the deck so the subframe for the backhoe could be attached, but I guess the question is would the mounting brackets for the deck interfere with either the mounting brackets for the subframe or the subframe itself.

Thanks for all of the replies and info...

I agree with wallace... its one or the other, not both.

Do the mounting bracket for the MMM get in the way of the subframe also? I don't mind removing the deck when I have to use the backhoe...

 

[virgil]

yes the brackets are in the way..... Its one or the other...
I guess this is one of those cases where you are not allowed to have cake and ice cream at the same time.
