XG30xx / MT2xx factory backhoe install

rbstern · May 9, 2019

I'm shopping both LS and Branson, and it seems that Branson needs it's rear lift arms and links removed to install the backhoe. I get the impression the XG3025 (and others) don't require that, making the backhoe removal and install much less involved.

Any insight appreciated.

That is correct. I just purchased the XG3025 (soon to be called MT225e). The 3 point arms can stay on the tractor with the backhoe on also. A few pins to remove and the backhoe comes off. It's a whole lot easier!
