3-POINT HITCH LINKAGE & HYDRAULIC HOOK-UP
TO TRACTOR HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
General Description
Mounting and hydraulics kits include two hoses which
can be used to connect the backhoe to the tractor
hydraulic system. Additional hydraulic components or
kits will be required to complete the hook-up to the
tractor hydraulic system. Refer to the Hydraulic Hook-
up section for further information. Pumps and reser-
voir kits are available as options.
The backhoe is mounted on the tractor lower link
arms and an adjustable upper link is supplied to
replace the tractor upper link. A set of stabilizer arms
is included. They bolt from the adjustable upper link to
the backhoe mainframe, locking the hoe rigidly in one
position.
IMPORTANT: Tractor lower links must be kept
free of lifting forces at all times after installation
of the attaching kit, by keeping tractor quadrant
lever in the lowered position.
IMPORTANT: If the 3-Point Kit is to be used with a
PTO & Reservoir Kit, the Reservoir Tank and it’s fit-
tings should be installed before proceeding with the
3-Point installation.
