I removed the backhoe from my RK24 last night to move some 3point attachments around.
On the tractor end, I connected the two lines back together to form the loop, and capped the third one.
I had a heck of a time trying to figure out where to route and/or stow these hoses at that point, as they were hanging down between/around the lift arms and PTO.
I ended up stuffing them between the back of the seat and the cross bar that the orange triangle is bolted to, but that didn't seem like a very clean solution.

What is the proper way/place to route/stow these hoses? :confused: Thanks! :)

Welcome to the privilege of BH ownership. MF GC Series has the same issue - they give you enough slack to properly connect the BH hydraulics, but give you no provision for hanging or otherwise securing the hydraulic loop or tank line. Mine are tucked up, but out of range of the top link and I use bungees to the ROPS base under the body work.

Rule #37: If duct tape or baling twine won't hold it together, use a zip tie.

That's similar to rule #16...
If it moves and it shouldn't, duct tape.
If it doesn't move and it should, WD40.
