Woods BH600 on Mahindra 2615?

[Ductape]

I run mine a little above idle (1000 to 1300) and its plenty fast. In fact, i've even complained in the past that the main boom was too fast / jerky. Running my tractor above that and its just too fast for my operating abilities My lines feeding the hoe are 3/8s , and my tractor pumps about 5gpm.

My tractor specs say its 7.8gpm and I have 3/8 lines to the rear. My FEL operates at its normal speed, but not the BH. I'm going to call Woods tech support tomorrow, and see what they suggest.

That's the best part of the woods subframe. When the dealer installed my backhoe, he handed me a box of parts containing my whole 3point hitch assembly. I got discouraged, but after close examination, I realized he didn't have to do that..

The instruction manual for the subframe DID say to remove the arms. I assume that's why the dealer did it, but again, didn't have to.

You can leave the whole 3PH on the tractor, except the top-link (because it hits the backhoe seat during the mount and dismount). IT DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE SUBFRAME IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER, as long as you leave it in the fully-up position. I take the hoe on and off all the time, and never have to remove the arms.

Keep in mind, I have a 2015, not a 2615, but I do believe the rear-end assembly is the same, and can't see why it wouldn't be the same for you.

The woods really is a nice set-up. 3 pins, and a little fancy work with the stabilizers, and its on. Only takes 5 minutes after you've done it a couple times.

Also, If you buy the Woods subframe, (which I definitely would) Install it yourself. It's a piece of cake. You just share two of the loader mount bolts on each side up front, and replace 3 or 4 rear axle case bolts on each side with longer ones, through the bracket. Real easy. It couldn't take an hour. I wish I knew that before.

I recently purchased a used 3710 with less than 30 hrs. on it. It appears to be in great shape, although there was on zerk fitting that had never been greased. I blame the dealer, and the previous owner.

The 2006 2615 this was on had about 250 hrs. on it, and it was in very sad shape: Because the lower lift arms were left in place, one of them got wrapped around the tire, and bent the fender. The instructions on the Mahindra website make it clear they must be removed in order to avoid damage.
