Backhoe B65 backhoe installed, mid mount mower no longer functions.

[Tiredoftires509]

I am brand new here, hope I'm posting this in the right place. I bought a 2019 Yanmar 221 with the YL110 Loader and 60" Mid Mount mower in August. I also paid for the B65 backhoe attachment at that time even thought it was on back order. Put 25 hours on the tractor by the time my dealer called me saying the backhoe had arrived. I sent it off to be installed and $900 later I have it back. Only issue is my mowing deck no longer goes up and down with the 3 point/mid mower deck up and down lever. I have disconnected the backhoe hydraulic hoses and put the hoses back to how I believe it was before the back hoe installation and still no movement of the linkage for the mower using the lever. I can still activate the blades, but not lift or lower the deck. I have completely removed the deck, and still cannot get the lifting/lower linkage to operate no matter the pto selectors position. I am at a total loss and have been weary to call the dealer out of fear I'm missing something simple. I also do not want them to take it back because I missed it for 2 weeks and need it badly before the freeze, but can't help but be irritated and baffled by this issue. If anyone has experienced this I would appreciate the information alot. Thank you in advance.

phone what you have to do

From what I have seen many of those mid mount mowers have a mechanical link to the 3 point which does the actual lift.
From what I have heard and read here 3 point operation and a backhoe are not compatible at the same time.

Check behind your left foot. There may be a valve that isolates the three point when backhoe is installed. With the backhoe installed the three point should not move.

For the mower there should be another actuator installed that will raise/lower the mmm And have a separate control lever.
