General Description
Mounting and hydraulic kits do not include hoses to
connect the backhoe to the tractor hydraulic system.
Additional hydraulic components, hoses, and/or kits
will be required to complete the hook-up to the trac-
tor hydraulic system. Refer to the “Hydraulic Hook-
up” section for further information. PTO pump kits
are available as options.
Mounting Backhoe to Tractor
The Bush Hog backhoe can be mounted to the
power source using four different attaching kits.
1. To an agricultural tractor’s 3-point hitch linkage
using the 3-point hitch kit: The 3-point hitch kit is the
same regardless of tractor model and the instruc-
tions for attaching the kit to the backhoe are includ-
ed below. .
2 To an agricultural tractor using a subframe kit
specifically offered for the tractor model and back-
hoe being mounted: The subframe kit instructions
differ with each tractor/backhoe combination and
come included with the individual subframe kit.
4. To an agricultural tractor using a 4-point kit specif-
ically offered for the tractor model and backhoe
being mounted: The 4-point kit instructions differ
with each tractor/backhoe combination and come
included with the individual 4-point mount kit.
3-Point Hitch Linkage
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.
NOTE: If the 3-Point Kit is to be used with a PTO
Pump Kit, the Reservoir Tank and its fittings should
be installed before proceeding with the 3-Point Kit
installation - Model CBH 70 and CBH80 only.
