Having some issues with the 3 point hitch system.

[Diggin It]

Bear in mind, this is all new to me, so if the questions seem simple, well ....

Decided to try the 3 point hitch and tiller for the first time. Could NOT find a way to install the system without pulling the right wheel to get enough room to slide the pin across the two points in the frame. I can't believe that should be necessary. There must be a better way, something I'm missing. Once all that is in, it doesn't look like it will be possible top mount the BH. Tell me I'm wrong there too, OK?

The lift arms should extend out past the wheels . a picture would help .

There is a design flaw with the mt125... you need the kit to fix that issue... there are thread on this.

also, you will need to remove the arms each time you put the backhoe back on.

Link??

I don't care about having to remove the arms as long as I don't have to remove a wheel to remove or install the arms. Will this kit fix that?

OP,
Guess the dealer didn't tell you about this kit even though you bought attachments for the three point hitch?

I found the thread.

No, they didn't. They may not know about it.

IN the link (to another post) posted above, the part numbers are listed. My dealer did not know of this kit, but contacted LS factory parts center and had it shipped out to them. He then sent it to me. Another MT owner MSLISAJ modified the original parts to work with just one new component part for about 30 bucks. I can take off all the 3 point parts in under 3 minutes now, put it all back on in about 4 minutes. ALL WITHOUT TAKING OFF A TIRE !

That would not be considered abnormal for many brands if not most. I have two Kubota backhoe tractors and have to remove the 3pt arms on both when I put the backhoe on.
