Backhoe TYM 273 backhoe

Can anyone tell me how hard it is to install the backhoe yourself. (Frame mounting)?

If you are talking about the BT200, it really doesn't look too complicated. Did you check out the manual on their site?

Are talking about removing it to use other attachments? If so, it's a 10 minute job. I've had mine off a couple times and it's a piece of cake once you learn how to position the bucket when unhooking it. If you get that right, you can back right into it, set the pins and hydro lines and your off. I'm not sure about starting from scratch, the subframe looks easy to install tho. One trick I will tell you, have a magnetic level handy. Place it on the vertical sheetmetal below the joysticks. That way you know how far to tighten the toplink to get the platform exactly level. If it's off one way or the other, it puts undo stress on the subframe and that's not good.

Thanks for the suggestions. It doesn't look tough to do this frame installetion myself.
