I've just gotten a CK20 with a loader and belly mower. I want to put a backhoe on it without dropping the mower. Any options out there?
Thanks,
Jim

First off, Welcome!! :)

You can probably run a 3pth B/H without it interfering with the mower deck.

You would obviously have to put up with the seriously reduced ground clearance of the deck, as well as the problems you may encounter if you elect to go to a PTO-driven pump since you could be powering the mower & B/H at the same time if the mower is left in place.

I should point out though, 3pth-mounted B/H's and new operators are a dangerous combination that often results in damage to the tractor, often major damage.

Best of luck. ....

Thanks for the pointers. I might just rent and mini excavator for the work I need to do around the farm. I was just wondering, how much luck people had with the little 3pt hitch hoes. Any body else with any ideas? ....
