Putting a Mahindra backhoe on a Yanmar YM2310?

[LittleBill21]

no I have never seen a hydraulic thumb for it, that one appears to be the factory thumb kit.

this hoe was run off the loader valve in the front.


issue with the pto pump is room, the farther from the back of the machine the more stress you put on the frame, there is nowhere near enough room on the mahindra to put a pto pump and run it with the hoe on, you would probably need to add a foot

I see you have no existing hydro lines, sorry

I agree that a pto pump would push the whole unit to far back. Since you still have your tools, could you make a manifold to pull hydraulic from and then return into trans? This is what I had to do with my Iseki when added FEL. Also made sub frame from front back to rear axle. Did this with a Porta band, 4.5 angle grinder and tombstone ac/DC welder. With your shop, should be a breeze and would hurt the tractor as long as you know it's limits. You right about getting into tight spots! My buddy put a Kubota BH on his Iseki. If price is right, pull the trigger!

I'm not sure that adding a pump that hangs off of the PTO will be a problem. After all, the PTO shaft is permanent, so it will always be there. And the pump will only be sticking out 1.5 inches farther than the shaft. On the other hand, I have never done this, adapting a Mahindra backhoe to a Yanmar tractor. This means that I need to take any advice or suggestions seriously. And I will. LittleBill21 brings up good points and I would be a fool to not pay attention to what he has posted. For example, the pump hanging off of the shaft takes up a lot more room than just the shaft sticking out of the back end of the tractor. It has width and length. So instead of a shaft that is 1 3/8 diameter and 4 inches long there would be a pump that's 7 inches wide, 9 inches tall, and 5.5 inches deep. Much Thanks to everybody who has posted advice so far, I really appreciate it. This coming Saturday I will be taking another closer look at the hoe and hopefully make a decision whether to buy it, but the price will need to be adjusted downward based on what I have read so for.
Thanks Much,
Eric

I really would rather keep the hoe hydraulics separate from the tractor and I think I can do this but will still need to measure stuff. Anyway, the seller returns to the island Saturday so I will be able to look again at the thing then.

Thinking about this a bit more, my experience with the Terramite has been that the backhoe bucket pushes the entire machine around and doesn't dig worth beans unless I first raise the entire machine off the ground using the front bucket and outriggers. 2700lbs alone isn't enough to keep the machine from being pushed around by the backhoe and even fully raised onto the outriggers and front bucket, the backhoe bucket will still push the machine around a few feet or so when trying to dig in hard ground.

I mention this to ask if your Yanmar has a front end loader?
