Read articles →This is a narrow, procedural walkthrough of one specific task: detaching a John Deere 485A backhoe attachment from a tractor's three-point hitch and hydraulics. It covers locking pins, outrigger positioning, disconnecting hydraulic lines, capping them, releasing hitch pins, and removing the crossbar step by step. It's most useful for owners who already have this backhoe setup and need a real-time reference for removal, not a review or buying guide.
Presented by Jason Hughes, a Papé territory manager who also owns and operates this equipment personally, so expect hands-on practical guidance rather than a sales pitch.
