The owner walks through the actual mounting process step by step, including a bracket alignment problem and a bottle-jack workaround that made it easier than his previous attempt. Useful for MT225E owners specifically hooking up this backhoe attachment; skip it if you want specs, pricing, or the backhoe in action.
Appears to be an owner-operator sharing hands-on experience with his own tractor and attachment.
One bracket hooks around a cross member while another goes up under the tractor to a second bracket, then pins go through holes on each side and hydraulics get hooked up.
Use a bottle jack under the front edge, jacking one side up until the first bracket clears, then releasing pressure so the front comes back up to the second bracket.
Yes, using a bottle jack under the front edge worked so well it was way easier than how the owner had done it before.
