MT125 return hose routing...

JTMachineDesign · Nov 24, 2020

So I took the backhoe off and mounted the three point.. Had a great day with the boxblade until I noticed the return hose had been rubbining on the rotating seat brackets enough to chew up the outer jacket of the hose.
What's the tribal knowledge on the best routing for that hose? it would be nice if it was a foot longer, it's really tough to get it connected...

Go on YouTube and search for Tony’s Tractor Adventure. There are some old videos of removal and installation of the backhoe. He may have talked about the hoses.

I did.. he didn't. he just said "make sure they're long enough" honestly, his vids leave me wanting.. stupid subscribe pings and more self promotion then content. then, not long ago I saw him post that JD was better.. I smelled a rat and moved on.

the manual has some wacky cartoon-like pics that gave a hint.. I
ll try that when I switch back to 3 point.

regarding Tony’s Tractor Adventure...
I am a new LS owner, I noticed the above youtube channel and another originally featured LS tractors and then all of a sudden, they were using Kubota and JD, I was wondering what happened, as there was no video about it on their channels. I even emailed one of them before I bought my LS, but never received a response.
Any idea why they changed? I was thinking maybe they got a decent number of subscribers, so the major brands offered them something and gave them a reason to change.
Anyone know the real reason?

Tony's tractor adventure first had JD, then he had Massey, then LS, now TYM. They have all been better than the previous tractor.... they basically get tractors from the manufacturers, highlighting them on their channels, until the next "better deal" comes along. They make money depending on how many subscribers they get, then of course, the amount of ads that are placed on the channel. There are a few others just like that channel ....

They occasionally have a good tip about something, but most of the stuff is just BS filler....
