I am familiar with remote hydraulics but hadn't heard them referred to as TNT. Thanks for the info.

I plan to do a lot of gravel road grading so the TNT sounds like a great thing to have, but I am also considering a backhoe and wonder if the two are compatible. ??
I'm such a newbie.

I have a LandPride RB3572 (six footer) with hydraulics. Maybe the brand your dealer carries only has them on eight footers.

Marker,

I think you misunderstood Tony’s explanation about TNT. The hydraulics he is referring to are on the tractors 3 pt., replacing the top link and one side link. I believe you are thinking of a cylinder that will angle a rear blade from the tractor. That will require another remote hydraulic outlet.

Yakima,

Most backhoes, Braco is an exception, require you to remove all or most of the 3pt arms to mount a backhoe. On my B21 it takes longer to do that than to mount the backhoe.

Don't let that bother you! Strangely enough, every single person here was a newbie at some point!/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

And just to prove it, I don't know the answer to your question. I know nothing about backhoes. Maybe someone else can field that one.

<font color=blue>The dealers are all telling me that I need to go with an 8' blade to get that option</font color=blue>

You got me on that one! I can't imagine what he's talking about. TNT has nothing to do with the implement or the size of it. If I were you I'd ask him some more questions!
