Attach Backhoe to Tractor
1. Back tractor up to backhoe and 3-point mount.
Center between the tractor rear tires. Position
tractor so that the hydraulic system can be con-
nected. Shut off tractor, set brake, and remove
key.
2. Attach hydraulic pump to tractor PTO or connect
hydraulic hoses.
3. With transmission in neutral, start tractor engine
at idle speed and engage PTO or start hydraulic
flow.

the 3-point mount into position. Use care in this
procedure to avoid being trapped between tractor
and backhoe or between backhoe parts.

backhoe from side to side and front to back. Set
ground clearance between 20-1/2 to 22-1/2
inches. Measure from the center of boom pivot
