Backhoe - mid mount mower - loader package issues
IMPORTANT
INFO>> please read carefully.
Because:
1. The way the mid mount mower is raised and lowered by the three point hitch
arms attached to a linkage connecting the deck to the arms.
2. The three point hitch mounted back hoe has to have the three point hitch lift
arms in a "locked into place" position for safe operation.
The mid mount mower cannot be raised and lowered when the backhoe is attached.
Therefore, purchasers should plan the remove the mower when using the hoe.
All the mounting MM Mower brackets DO NOT have to be removed. Just the deck
and the simple lift link that goes to the rear of the tractor. and Purchasers
should plan the remove the backhoe when using the MM Mower. The BH maybe
be disconnected easily without disturbing any other components.
Note:
The MM Mower may be locked into a raised position with a "little pin"
inserted on each side of the deck.
Then the three point hitch may be raised and lowered (with or without pto
powered implements attached).
Caution> the raised (locked) position under clearance from the bottom of the
MM deck to the ground is approx. 3.5 to 4.5 inches depending on which tires are
installed.
Ag tires >> 4.5 "
R4 tires >> 4.0"
Turf Tires >> 3.5 "
Due to the "close" under clearance", most folks would prefer the
MM Mower be removed when doing "down and dirty" back hoe - loader
task.
However, if just "tinkering with a small BH job like "planting shrubs
in the finishing lawn area at home', one could use the BH with the MM Mower is
attached. However, they would not be able to raise and lower the MM Mower. It
would have to stay in the "locked up" position.
