It covers removing the rake, aligning the backhoe's mounting points, watching out for a transmission fluid hydraulic filter that could get crushed, and seating the pins. Useful for owners curious about the actual mounting process, including the fiddly alignment and time it takes.
An owner-operator documenting DIY maintenance on his own New Holland tractor, with a casual, unpolished narration style.
Remove the rear rake, align the backhoe's hooks into the three connection slots, watch the hydraulic filter so it doesn't get crushed, align the centering pieces, then seat the front and back mounting pins.
No, the three-point hitch connections are used for the fluid connections needed by the backhoe, so they can't be used together.
It can take about fifteen to thirty minutes depending on how carefully and quickly the person doing it works.
