I have a TYM T264. My backhoe attaches the same way and after a time or two of attaching/detaching, it becomes a breeze. One suggestion... place a eight inch block under the backhoe and between the outriggers. After setting a while, the outrigger hydraulics will leak down and the front of the sub frame will be sticking up enough to cause clearance issues when backing over the sub frame. Great video!
I actually have exactly what you mentioned set up in another area of the property. This video was taken for a quick in and off plus easy area to record. Thank for the tips though. This comment will help others. Appreciate the compliment.
Thank you so much for your video. It is extremely helpful. I have not taken off or installed my backhoe yet from my RK25. Now I'm more confident in doing so after watching your video.
Congratulations on your new tractor. Glad to help. Appreciate you subscribing. I will be picking up the camera again very soon. Been down with life changes lately.
Thanks for the tutorial. I watched this before I picked up my RK 25. I wanted to go through the process at the dealership before I brought it home and I knew more about it then the dealer thanks to your video.
I do have a question. My backhoe only has about 6 hours on it. It started swinging too far to the right and actually dented the metal next to the rubber bumper. When it did this, it would not return to the left without bouncing it right & left and then it would finally return left. Is there a way to adjust the valves for swing stop?
Thank you for this video. I will be picking up my RK25 with the backhoe in the next few days. This video is extremely helpful in letting me know how to disconnect and reconnect the backhoe. I do have one thought, however. When you're reconnecting the backhoe, as you said, you can use the hydraulics you paid for to help you out. Once it's aligned, couldn't you use the bucket to push the subframe back into position under the tractor when you're hooking it up? I know the outriggers would drag a bit, but for a one person operation, it seems like that would be easier than getting on and off the tractor to move the tractor into position. Thanks to a recent Rural King promotion, I am getting a free mid-mount mower deck with my tractor. Although I will only use the backhoe occasionally, I expect I'll use the mower a bit more. According to the sales rep I spoke with, the mounting brackets for the mower won't work with the backhoe brackets attached and vice-versa. I was looking closely at this yesterday, and I believe he is incorrect about this. I am hoping I can have all the brackets installed, then just attach whichever implement I need at the time. If anyone has experience with this, please comment!
The mid pto is more of the problem. As I understand you cannot have a RK25 that has both the mower and the backhoe. Unless they have changed it. The mid pto does not come installed on a rk25 unless you add the mower. When you add the mid pto it is in the way of the backhoe subframe. So if you want to use the backhoe subframe the mid pto has to be removed. Which means all of the fluid in the transmission has to come out, remove the mid pto, install the original cover to go in place of the mid pto and then replace the trans-hydraulic oil. The could have made changes. So what I am going to do is wait to see when the local Rk has one with a mower and one with a backhoe. I am gonna go down and look. If they will allow me I will take a video. The program for the free mower is great but I know a lot of people have had to turn down the mower because they need a backhoe.
@@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081 Thank you for the quick response. This is definitely a good thing to look into, as I would like the ability to use both implements easily if possible. I didn't get that far underneath both tractors to see that issue. My concern at the time I looked was the brackets, because that's where I was told the conflict existed. I will look at the mid PTO the next time I'm there (perhaps later today) to see how the mid PTO is hooked up. Thank you again for your quick response.
This is a nicely done video with good attention paid to steps and techniques to employ in removal and installation of the suffrage mounted backhoe. It is VERY similar to the Branson 4815Ch that I have... wish I had seen this when it was published. It's the best step by step video I've seen to date for this system. Now, if I can just figure out how to best store this backhoe when removed from my tractor that doesn't obstruct everything else in my small "barn".
Thanks for the compliment. I have mine setup a certain way when storing. I will certainly try to make a video show the details. Thanks again for watching. Be sure to subscribe
1st of all thank you... I bought my rk 25 because of folks like you........ I have too much tension on pins to be removed that easily as shown.. played with backhoe hydraulics, no success tonight.. will try again in morning...
@Cypher911x10 18 hours ago I do have a question. My backhoe only has about 6 hours on it. It started swinging too far to the right (sitting on the backhoe) and actually dented the metal next to the rubber bumper. When it did this, it would not return to the left without bouncing it right & left and then it would finally return left. Is there a way to adjust the valves for swing stop? Do the hydraulic swing cylinders adjust...like screw in or out to limit travel?
Great vid. I just bought a T25 i think there the same machines. Been wanting to pull the backhoe off to try out my box blade but been scared to try lol. It don’t look bad at all i think I’m gonna give it a try this weekend 👍🏽
Taking 2x4 scraps and chalking behind and on the sides of the rear wheels before starting the removal of the backhoe helps align the tractor with the backhoe when you are trying to reinstall the backhoe back on the tractor later. Ask me how I know...
Denny, thanks for the detailed uninstall/install on the RK 25 backhoe. Watching you struggle with alignment makes me believe if a quick connect solution will come forth for the backhoe just like the quick attach on the front end loader and the quick hitch for the 3-point hitch. Surely this can be engineered by someone smarter than I. 😉
Thanks ordered mine and getting it at the end of this month. How is the digging power with the backhoe. Can you adjust the flow rate to speed up and slow down the backhoe .
Plenty of digging power. If you need more just raise the rpm. If you need more than that then you may damage stuff. There is no other adjust that I am aware of to the remotes.

Thanks for this. I am getting ready to go install mine now. I took it off about a year ago and need it today. Great explanation!
Hope this helps. I will be making a new updated video. If you find something I missed or that could help. Please let me know.

I have not had any problems out if my back hoe to this point.
@@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081 rk had mine for 4 month and can't figure it out just seeing if everyone else had the problem
