Big Blue Florida, I'm not sure what you are asking. What is long or short? According to my dealer the 1100 hoe is the same for all XG series tractors but the sub frames are different for different model tractors in the XG series. Sub frame 1106 is the only one that will fit the XG3025. I can only take him at his word and he has been totally accurate on all other questions I have asked. I'm going to take my tractor to him on Monday (5/11/18) and he's sure he can get it installed,checked out and delivered back to me by weeks end.If you go to Backhoes | LS Tractor you will see what he is saying. Actually the 1100 hoe is also used on the MT and XJ series but again with different sub frames. This is confusing!

Ok sorry there
I meant concerning the those special grease fitting which go on the ends of the hose leading from the grease gun.
There are two length available. Sorry for not being clear the first time.
We received word from the dealer doing our recall.
This coming Monday we are to have our tractor returned.
Noticed on your list of back hoe frames......our unit carries a 2817 lb bucket digging force.
That exceed some of the other tractors w/ greater HP. Most interesting to learn our 24.5 HP is turning a very strong hydro pump for the Back Hoe.
That list is again very interesting, much thanks

Well now, YET another up date on our XG3025H..............it's home.
Derrick from Trenton Farm Equipment in greater down town Trenton, Florida, arrived this AM w/ his Chief Tech Guy, Sebastian.
Went over the new additions.
Must say the additions are most impressive. All the attachments were put back in place.
Yes, it runs great.
There was a call from Terry the LS Service Rep guy in the Carolinas, he suggested we use it & be sure we are pleased w/ everything.
Something interesting was brought to our attention. There was a part missing. Seems our selling dealer left off the top mounted turn buckle.
It anchors the back of the tractor to the anchor point under the seat on the back hoe. We never knew this.
We were given this part as something for the box blade & the other rear mounted implements. Not even suggested to use it on the back hoe.
It was suggested this addition should better stabilize the back hoe attachment.
Is everyone else using this top turn buckle ?
Our Big Blue is home & tomorrow is going to be a full day. Nothing like playing catch up between the afternoon rain storms around here.

Much thanks 3Lfarms,
To think we have been using our back hoe w/o this link advantage.
So much for being informed at the selling dealer level.
We have been clocking well over 200 hrs & doing it wrong. Well much thanks to the recall dealer Trenton Farm Equipment in FL.

Big Blue Florida I'm glad that you finally got your tractor back. Yesterday I took my XG3025 back to the dealer to have a backhoe installed, it should be delivered back to me by the end of the week. Last evening I read through the operators manual but don't recall anything about hooking up the top link. I'll double check when I get out to the shop this morning. Enjoy your tractor.

Maybe that ''link'' (turn buckle) was thought to not be important for just a home owner w/ a little land.
But listening to the Trenton Farm Equipment guys it just makes 100% good thinking.
You are going to really enjoy your back hoe.
What size bucket are you getting ?

I'm getting two buckets, 9" and 18". What size are you using?

I believe those are the two size buckets we have.
We use the big one for ditch digging & the narrow one for stumps & such.
We have a lot of wet work here & use marine grease on all the low grease points after every ''wet'' operation.
After changing buckets we slap fresh grease in the holes of the last bucket to keep rust from starting while not in use.
Grease is really cheap insurance & a good reason to keep an inspection routine in place.
