Read articles →This is a real-time, unscripted walkthrough of pulling a backhoe off a Mahindra Max 24 at around ten hours of use, done by someone figuring it out without instructions. It covers removing lower arm pins, disconnecting hydraulic hoses, and swapping in a back blade, including troubleshooting a bent pin and a misaligned three-point mount from the dealer. Best for owners planning their own backhoe removal or attachment swaps, not spec-focused shoppers.
An owner-operator documenting hands-on trial-and-error work with their own tractor, with no prior experience doing this specific task.
Pull the pins for the lower arms so one side falls free, swing the deal out of the way, then disconnect the hydraulic hoses after relieving pressure with the outriggers.
One pin stops the deal from swinging side to side, and larger pins keep the whole backhoe folded up to take pressure off the cylinders when driving.
The dealer or factory mounted it off to the edge instead of the middle, which the owner says does not do much good positioned that way.
